List of tallest buildings in Penang Island

Penang Island is the second largest city in Malaysia and forms the heart of Greater Penang, the country's second most populous metropolitan area. Populated by 738,500 inhabitants, it is centred in George Town at the northeastern tip of the island. 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 Penang Island. It is estimated that, as of 2016, over 680 completed high-rises and skyscrapers currently stand throughout Penang Island, most of which are located within George Town and its suburbs.

Penang's first skyscraper remains the tallest within the state to this day. Built in the 1970s, 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 Penang Island which are ranked according to the height and number of floors of each structure.

The Emporis Standards Committee defines a skyscraper as "a multi-story building whose architectural height is at least 100 m or 330 ft". The structure's height includes spires and architectural details but does not include its antenna masts.
