List of tallest buildings in Africa

Initially, only a small number of major financial and commercial centres boasted large skylines, such as Cairo, Johannesburg, Lagos and Nairobi.

However, since the 2000s, skyscrapers have been constructed in many other African cities, including Algiers, El Alamein, Durban, Cape Town, Maputo, Salé, Casablanca, Abuja, Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Alexandria, Harare, Abidjan, Luanda and Port Louis.

The tallest skyscraper is the Iconic Tower in New Administrative Capital, Egypt, which is 393.8 meters (1,292 ft) tall.

This list ranks African buildings that stand at least 120 m (394 ft) tall, based on standard height measurements by CTBUH.

This section lists skyscrapers that are on-hold, approved or proposed in Africa, and are planned to rise over 100 m (328 ft) tall.
