List of tallest churches in the world

From the Middle Ages until the advent of the skyscraper, Christian church buildings were often the world's tallest buildings. From 1311, when the spire of Lincoln Cathedral surpassed the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza, until the Washington Monument was completed in 1884, a succession of church buildings held this title. If it is completed, Barcelona's Sagrada Família will become the tallest church in the world, at 170 metres (560 ft).

This list does not include church buildings that incorporate a significant portion of space to non-church uses, such as the Chicago Temple Building. It does not include structures from non-Christian religions.

Note: The church buildings are ordered based on their tallest recorded height in history. Those listed in italics and marked with H (for "historical") are church buildings no longer in existence or no longer as tall as their previous maximum height. These church buildings may appear a second time on the list if their current shorter height is still significant. In order to view the tallest present churches in a row click the sorting button in the H column.
