Boston is the capital of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Massachusetts]] and the largest city in [[New England]]. It is home to over 580 completed high-rises,<ref name="High-rise count emp">{{cite web |title=About: Boston |url=http://www.emporis.com/city/boston-ma-usa |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130203225501/http://www.emporis.com/city/boston-ma-usa |archive-date=2013-02-03 |access-date=2013-02-18 |publisher=Emporis.com}}</ref> 73 of which stand taller than 300 feet (91 m) as of 2025. Boston's skyline is by far the largest in [[New England]], and the city has the second most skyscrapers taller than 492 ft (150 m) in the [[Northeastern United States]], after [[New York City]]. The tallest building in Boston is the 62-story 200 Clarendon, better known as the [[John Hancock Tower]]; the office skyscraper rises 790 ft (241 m) in the [[Back Bay, Boston|Back Bay]] district, southwest of [[Downtown Boston]].

The history of skyscrapers in Boston began early with the completion of the 13-story [[Ames Building]] in 1893. The [[Greek Revival architecture|Greek Revival]] style [[Custom House Tower]], which was Boston's tallest building from 1915 to 1964, was among the first skyscrapers outside of New York City. Boston went through a major building boom from the 1960s to the early 1990s, resulting in the construction of over 30 buildings taller than 300 ft (91 m), including the John Hancock Tower and the city's second-tallest building, the [[Prudential Tower]]. At the time of the Prudential Tower's completion in 1964, it stood as the tallest building in North America outside of [[New York City]].<ref name="pru">{{cite web |title=Prudential Tower |url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=prudentialtower-boston-ma-usa |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930041001/http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=prudentialtower-boston-ma-usa |archive-date=2007-09-30 |access-date=2012-08-20 |publisher=Emporis.com}}</ref>

After a hiatus in the 1990s, high-rise development resumed in the 2000s, with a higher share residential or mixed-use buildings. Since 2016, several major projects have significantly altered the city's skyline, including four skyscrapers taller than 600 ft (183 m): [[Millennium Tower (Boston)|Millennium Tower]] in 2016, [[One Dalton]] in 2020, and both [[Winthrop Center]] and [[Bulfinch Crossing#One Congress|One Congress]] in 2023. A fifth, [[South Station Tower]], is under construction atop Boston's historic [[South Station]], and is expected to be complete by 2025. Around the same period, the [[West End, Boston|West End]] neighborhood has seen an influx in high-rises, such as [[The Hub on Causeway]]. The regeneration of the [[Seaport District]] since the 2000s has added many new high-rises to the former industrial area, although none of them surpass 300 ft in height.

Although Boston's skyscrapers are concentrated in the [[Financial District, Boston|Financial District]] in [[Downtown Boston|downtown]], its three tallest buildings—John Hancock Tower, Prudential Tower, and One Dalton—are located in Back Bay. Boston's skyline is shaped by the roughly 2.5 mile unofficial [[High Spine]] urban corridor,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Globe |first=The Boston |last2=Logan |first2=Tim |title=Why can't Boston build taller? |url=https://apps.bostonglobe.com/business/graphics/2018/04/tallest-buildings |access-date=2025-08-21 |website=BostonGlobe.com |language=en}}</ref> bypassing surrounding low-rise residential areas like [[Beacon Hill, Boston|Beacon Hill]] and the [[North End, Boston|North End]]. In addition to the Seaport District southeast of downtown, the skyline has stretched westwards towards [[Fenway–Kenmore]] beginning in the 2010s. In the wider metropolitan area, there is an ongoing high-rise boom in neighboring [[Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge]], as well as in [[Somerville, Massachusetts|Somerville]] to a lesser extent. Regulations on building shadows and the proximity of [[Logan International Airport]] to downtown have limited the height of skyscrapers in downtown Boston to below 800 ft (244 m).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Acitelli |first=Tom |date=2018-02-22 |title=Will Boston’s skyline ever pierce 800 feet? |url=https://boston.curbed.com/boston-development/2018/2/22/17037854/boston-building-height-limit |access-date=2025-08-21 |website=Curbed Boston |language=en}}</ref>

Boston skyscrapers that stand at least 300&nbsp;feet (91&nbsp;m) tall, based on standard height measurements, including spires and other architectural details, but not including antenna masts, are listed below. The "Year" column indicates the year when a building was completed. Buildings tied in height are sorted by year of completion, and then alphabetically.  <!--Note on ordering: If two or more buildings are tied in height, list the building that was built earlier first. If they are still tied, list them by alphabetical order.-->  <!-- Note to editors: a list of buildings that are taller than 300 feet (91 m) according to SkyscraperPage, but are shorter according to the CTBUH, and are hence not included:
- Landmark Building at Federal
- Tremont on the Common
- 50 Milk Street
- Archstone Boston Common
- 30 Dalton

Additionally, these buildings have no CTBUH entry and their SkyscraperPage entry has no height given:
- Levinson Tower -->

==Timeline of tallest buildings==
For most of Boston's earlier years, the tallest buildings in the city were churches with their steeples. The first skyscraper in the city is generally considered the [[Ames Building]], completed in 1893.<ref name="ames">{{cite web |title=Ames Building, Office Building |url=http://www.shepleybulfinch.com/project/ames-building/LM9/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131229115038/http://www.shepleybulfinch.com/project/ames-building/LM9/ |archive-date=2013-12-29 |access-date=2012-08-18 |publisher=Shepley Bulfinch}}</ref> However, since the 13-story building did not surpass the steeple of the [[Church of the Covenant (Boston)|Church of the Covenant]],<ref name=cofcov>{{cite web|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=22265 |title=Church of the Covenant |access-date=2012-08-20 |publisher=SkyscraperPage.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309161248/http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=22265 |archive-date=2012-03-09 }}</ref> it never became a city record holder. The first skyscraper to have the distinction of being Boston's tallest building was the [[Custom House Tower]], completed in 1915.<ref name=clock/>
