List By Height
- Note: A minimum height limit of 500 metres (1,640 ft) for notable structures is used for practical purposes to keep the list to a reasonable length. List of tallest structures in the world - 300 to 400 metres and List of tallest structures in the world - 400 to 500 metres contain lower structures.
- Likely structures still missing from this list include masts used for the Russian navigation system RSDN-20.
- Structures no longer standing are in italics.
- For all structures the pinnacle height is given, so the height of skyscrapers may differ from the values at List of skyscrapers.
- Most of the taller masts are located in the United States (indicated by blue color), where a prevalence of masts of around 2,000 feet (610 m) in height is the result of special rules in that country limiting structures and objects taller than that height.
- Structures under construction are included in main list if the current height is over 500 metres (1,640 ft)
- Tension-leg platforms are not included.

Famous quotes containing the words list and/or height:
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“The Woodrovian style, at the height of the Wilson hallucination, was much praised by cornfed connoisseurs.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
