List of tallest buildings in George Town, Penang


, which encompasses the entirety of Penang Island, is the second largest city in Malaysia and forms the heart of Greater Penang, the country's second most populous metropolitan area. In addition to the city centre's UNESCO World Heritage Site status thanks to its 'unique architectural and cultural townscape without parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia', skyscrapers and high-rises co-exist, sometimes side-by-side, with the heritage buildings.
Due to the shortage of land that is inherent in island cities, high-rise buildings have been springing up all over George Town. It is estimated that, as of 2016, over 680 completed high-rises and skyscrapers currently stand throughout the city.
Penang's first skyscraper remains the tallest within the state to this day. Built in the 1970s, the KOMTAR Tower was originally 232 metres tall. It now houses the offices of the Penang state government, including that of the Chief Minister of Penang. In 2016, three more storeys were added to the top, extending its height to 249 metres.
This is a list of the tallest buildings within George Town which are ranked according to the height and number of floors of each structure.
