List of tallest buildings in Ontario

This list of tallest buildings in Ontario ranks skyscrapers and high rise buildings in the province of Ontario by height. Buildings in nine cities are included in this list; Toronto, Mississauga, Niagara Falls, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Windsor, Kitchener, and Markham, each having buildings taller than 100 metres.

The tallest building in the province of Ontario is First Canadian Place 298 metres (978 feet). Completed in 1976, it is also the tallest building in Canada and the 68th tallest building in the world. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest building in the world outside of Chicago and New York City.

All of the buildings taller than 150 metres are in Toronto, Mississauga and Niagara Falls, all three cities being part of the Golden Horseshoe. The tallest building in Ottawa, Ontario's second largest city, rises to only 112.4 metres due to height restrictions put in place as to prevent any building from exceeding the height of the Peace Tower of parliament hill in Downtown Ottawa. In recent years, a development boom has caused many cities, that historically haven’t had tall buildings or dense urban cores, to densify and construct taller buildings like Kitchener, Windsor, Markham, etc.

Buildings over 100 meters[]

Toronto, the largest city in both Ontario and Canada.

Ottawa's metropolitan area is the second largest in Ontario, with 1.3 million people.

Niagara Falls has the third tallest skyline in Ontario, after Toronto and Mississauga.

Hamilton is one of Ontario's most populous cities with a metropolitan population over 700 000 people.

London is the third largest continuous urban area in Ontario with a population of 500 000.

Windsor, Ontario is the most southern metropolis in Canada with a population of 330 000.

This list ranks buildings in Ontario that stand between least 100 m (328 ft) tall, based on CTBUH height measurement standards. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. An equal sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings. Freestanding observation and/or telecommunication towers, while not habitable buildings, are included for comparison purposes; however, they are not ranked. One such tower is the CN Tower.
