This list of tallest church buildings ranks church buildings by height. 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.
- The tallest church building in the world is the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, which surpassed Ulm Minster (161.53m) on 30 October 2025 when its central tower reached 162.91m. The central tower reached the final height of 172.5m on 20 February 2026.
- The tallest completed church building in the world was formerly the Ulm Minster (161.53m), the main Lutheran congregation in Ulm, Germany.
- The tallest domed church building, and the tallest Catholic church until surpassed by Sagrada Família, is the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace (158m) in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast.
- The tallest cathedral as well as the tallest church building with two steeples is Cologne Cathedral (157.22m) in Cologne, Germany.
- The tallest domed cathedral as well as the tallest Eastern Orthodox is People's Salvation Cathedral (132m) in Bucharest, Romania.
- The tallest brickwork church building is St Martin's Church (130.6m) in Landshut, Germany.
- The tallest brickwork church building with two steeples is St Mary's Church (125m) in Lübeck, Germany.

Auxiliary list
This list completely follows the pattern of the main list (≥ 99 m). Church buildings are placed here that have been removed from the main list because the data about them is disputed or contradictory, or there is no information about the respective church building anywhere on the Internet. The purpose of this list is to preserve the work and efforts of the authors who have included some church buildings with a disputed place in the main list. In this way their work is preserved, and if it is proved that the excluded church buildings have a place in the main list, they can easily be restored to it (since the present list follows the pattern of the main list completely).
