List of tallest buildings in Guangzhou

The first skyscraper to be constructed in Guangzhou was the Guangdong International Building in 1990, at a height of 200 metres. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest building in China. Since then, Guangzhou has built skyscrapers at a frequent rate. As with many major Chinese cities, the 2010s saw an increased rate of construction in skyscrapers and supertall buildings.

The island of Pazhou has seen increased vertical development in recent years.

This lists ranks Guangzhou skyscrapers that stand at least 150 m (492 feet) tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height. The Chinese name of each building is given in Traditional Chinese.
