This list of tallest buildings in Perth ranks skyscrapers in the Australian city of Perth by height to the highest architectural detail. This ranking system, created by the U.S.-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat includes the height to a spire but not to an antenna. The tallest building in Perth is the 51-storey Central Park (more commonly known as the "Rio Tinto building") at 249 m (817 ft), completed in 1992.
