This list of tallest buildings in Chennai ranks high-rise and skyscraper buildings in Chennai, India based on official height.{{cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/city/chennai-india/high-rise-buildings/1 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130208045843/http://www.emporis.com/city/chennai-india/high-rise-buildings/1 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=8 February 2013 |title=High-Rise Buildings, Chennai |publisher=Emporis.com}} LIC Building in the city was the tallest high-rise in India when it was inaugurated in 1959. Since the 2010s, Chennai is witnessing a huge high-rise boom with many high-rises being built in different parts of the city. SPR City Highliving District at Perumbur is the tallest building in the city with a height of 172 metres (561 ft) and 45 floors. The World Trade Center at Perungudi, the Houses of Hiranandani in Egattur, the TCS Signature Towers at Siruseri, the TVH Ouranya Bay at Padur, the LIC Building at Mount Road, Hyatt Regency Chennai at Teynampet and Arihant Majestic Towers at Koyambedu are some of the various prominent high-rises in the city.
Despite being a port city and a major commercial center, Chennai does not have any supertall skyscrapers like other major cities in India due to the presence of weather radar placed in the city by the Indian government.

Unlike other metropolitan cities in the country, Chennai continues to experience a horizontal growth (that is, expanding continuously in its area) rather than a vertical growth by means of building more skyscrapers, owing to the presence of weather radar at the Chennai Port, which prohibits construction of taller buildings beyond its permissible limits.{{Cite news| last = Koshy| first = Jacob P.| title = Doppler radar may put cap on building heights| newspaper = Livemint| location = New Delhi| publisher = Live Mint and the Wall Street Journal| date = 13 December 2007| url = http://www.livemint.com/Industry/OODRIEHbh9UFiYHBvNgaJP/Doppler-radar-may-put-cap-on-building-heights.html| accessdate = 14 September 2012}} The maximum permissible building height in Chennai was limited to 40 m until 1998, when it was increased to 60 m.{{cite news| title = Plea to okay draft Master Plan| location = Chennai| date = 18 July 2008| url = http://www.hindu.com/2008/07/18/stories/2008071860190400.htm| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080721192511/http://www.hindu.com/2008/07/18/stories/2008071860190400.htm| url-status = dead| archive-date = 21 July 2008| newspaper = The Hindu| accessdate = 14 September 2012}}{{cite news| title = சென்னையில் 45 மாடி கட்டடம்: விதிகளை தளர்த்தி அரசு அனுமதி| newspaper = Dinamalar| location = Chennai| language = ta| date = 9 March 2017| url = https://www.dinamalar.com/news/tamil-nadu-news/news/1726471| access-date = 29 July 2018}}{{cite news| last = TNN| title = Skyscrapers enter Chennai at 171 metres; OMR tower to be Chennai's tallest | newspaper = The Times of India| location = Chennai| publisher = The Times Group| date = 20 February 2013| url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Skyscrapers-enter-Chennai-at-171-metres-OMR-tower-to-be-Chennais-tallest/articleshow/18584954.cms | accessdate = 14 September 2020}} This restriction continued until the second master plan of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority was rolled out in 2008, after which the restriction was lifted, allowing buildings taller than 60 meters to be built.{{cite news| title = Skyscrapers enter Chennai at 171 metres; OMR tower to be Chennai's tallest| newspaper = The Times of India| location = Chennai| publisher = The Times Group| date = 20 February 2013| url = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Skyscrapers-enter-Chennai-at-171-metres-OMR-tower-to-be-Chennais-tallest/articleshow/18584954.cms| accessdate = 24 December 2016}} Until then, the LIC Building on Anna Salai, with 15 floors, dominated the city's skyline for almost four decades. Even the next tallest building, a 10-storied residential tower of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) at Nandanam, was not built until almost a decade later in 1968.{{cite news

According to realty portal Commonfloor.com, as of 2014, there were 96 high-rises (buildings with 10 or more storeys) and 148 buildings under construction or planned.{{cite news| last = Menon| first = Vishal| title = Chennai looks to the skies | newspaper = The Hindu| location = Chennai| publisher = Kasturi & Sons| date = 31 October 2014| url = https://www.thehindu.com/features/homes-and-gardens/five-years-after-the-cmda-allowed-buildings-to-go-above-60-metres-chennais-skyline-finally-begins-to-look-up-finds-vishal-menon/article6552974.ece | accessdate = 13 September 2020}}
