List of tallest buildings in Yorkshire

Yorkshire has many tall buildings primarily located in its largest city, Leeds, which hosts the current tallest building, Altus House. Three further buildings over 100m are current under construction in Leeds. A smaller number of tall buildings are located in Sheffield, while Yorkshire's other main settlements are largely characterised by low-rise skylines such as York, which is dominated by one tall building, the Minster.

High-rise residential blocks are common in many towns and cities in Yorkshire, with many councils, particularly Leeds, Halifax and Kingston upon Hull enthusiastically embracing high-rise living in the 1960s and '70s. Sheffield has fewer high-rise residential blocks, with the council there looking more towards the more modern 'wall like' developments, though some newer high rise buildings are under construction.
