List of tallest buildings in Poland

Poland has 46 high-rise buildings that stand at least tall, being one of 17 countries in the world to have a supertall skyscraper (building that rises at least ).

The country's first high-rises started to be constructed in Warsaw, Katowice, Wrocław, Łódź and Kraków in the first half of the 20th century. The PAST Building was the first such building in Poland. Built in 1908, it was at that time the tallest residential building in Europe at , as well as one of the earliest reinforced concrete structures of this type in the continent. Other early high-rises include the Drapacz Chmur, in Katowice, and the Prudential, in Warsaw, which was in its completion in 1933 the tenth tallest building in Europe at .

At the beginning of the post-war period, the tall Palace of Culture and Science was built in the centre of Warsaw at the behest of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. At the time of its completion in 1955, it was the eighth tallest building in the world and the second tallest in Europe, retaining these positions until 1961 and 1990, respectively.

Poland saw a major increase in the number of high-rise buildings following its political transformation of 1989 and throughout the 21st century. Most of the country's tallest skyscrapers are located in the Śródmieście and Wola districts of Warsaw. In Śródmieście, a cluster of skyscrapers is arranged around the centrally located Palace of Culture and Science. Since the 1970s the district's urban planning has been designed in a way that counterpoints the skyline domination by the Palace.

The tallest building in Poland is currently the tall Varso Tower, in Warsaw, which is also the tallest building in the European Union and the sixth tallest building in Europe.
