List of tallest buildings in Africa
This article ranks the tallest buildings on the African continent by height. Initially, only a small number of major financial and commercial centers boasted large skylines, such as Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi, Cairo and Cape Town. However, since the 2000s, skyscrapers have been constructed in many other African cities, including Maputo, Abuja, Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Alexandria, Durban, Harare, Abidjan, Luanda and Port Louis.
Between 1973 and 2019 the tallest skyscraper in Africa was Johannesburg's Carlton Centre, which stands 223 metres (732 ft) tall. Since 2019 the tallest skyscraper is The Leonardo, also in Johannesburg, which is 234 metres (768 ft) tall.
Tallest buildings
This list ranks African buildings that stand at least 100 m (328 ft) tall, based on standard height measurements by CTBUH. This includes spires and architectural details, but does not include antenna masts and minarets. Buildings over 150 m (492 ft) tall are highlighted.
