This list of tallest buildings in Stuttgart ranks high-rise buildings and important landmarks that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet).

Stuttgart's history of skyscrapers began 1928 with the completion of the 16-storey, 61-meter-high (200-foot) Tagblatt-Turm. The architect Ernst Otto Oßwald planned the tower in 1924 opposite the Schocken department store as the first high-rise building in Stuttgart and the first reinforced concrete high-rise in Germany.

As in every major city, there are also remarkable but unrealized high-rise plans in Stuttgart. Mention should be made here of a so-called Trump Tower (Germany), which was a topic of discussion from 2001. This planned Trump Tower was to be erected on the exposed Prag, a hill on the northern edge of Stuttgart's valley basin. The 180-metre-high office, hotel and residential tower, which was estimated to cost around 230 million euros at the time, was “controversial among the population, the local council and the architectural and real estate scene.”[1] The skyscraper was initially to be built in Berlin. When this project failed, the alternatives of Frankfurt/M. and, in April 2001, Stuttgart were discussed.[2] After 2003, the plans were no longer pursued.[3]

A special landmark on the Stuttgart skyline is the 217-meters-high Fernsehturm Stuttgart, built in 1956. It was the first telecommunications tower in the world constructed from reinforced concrete, and it is the prototype for many such towers worldwide.
