This is a list of the tallest buildings in Vermont by number of floors. All buildings over ten stories are included, as well as buildings over 100 feet in height.

By the amount of Floors, at 124 feet, Decker Towers in Burlington is the shortest building to be the tallest in a U.S. State. However, the Vermont State Capitol Building has a pinnacle of 140 feet in height, so no real "Tallest Building" title has ever been given.
