This list of the tallest buildings in Brazil ranks Brazilian skyscrapers in order by height. According to Emporis, the country has five of the one hundred cities with the largest number of skyscrapers in the world: São Paulo, Goiânia, Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Balneário Camboriú.[5] However, six of the ten tallest buildings in the country are currently located in Balneário Camboriú, in Santa Catarina.[6] The first large building built in Brazil was the Sampaio Moreira, in São Paulo, in 1924. A Noite Building, in Rio de Janeiro, and the Martinelli Building, also in the capital of São Paulo, are considered the first skyscrapers in Latin America.[7]

Skyline of Balneário Camboriú, which holds the tallest buildings in the country, all completed no earlier than 2014. Unlike São Paulo, Balneário Camboriú does not have strict zoning laws that forbid buildings to surpass a certain height, allowing for more ambitious skyscraper projects to be implemented in the city.

Subsequently, São Paulo dominated the national and international scene with the construction of buildings such as the Altino Arantes, which was the largest reinforced concrete construction in the world,[8] and the Mirante do Vale, one of the first skyscrapers in the world to be built entirely in reinforced concrete and which remained the tallest building in the country from 1966 to 2014.[9][10] At 294 m (965 ft), the twin towers Yachthouse Residence Club, in Balneário Camboriú, are the tallest buildings in Brazil,[11] while the Alto das Nações, in São Paulo, is the tallest corporate tower in Brazil.[12]
