As of 2026, Mississauga is home to 46 buildings taller than 100 m (328 ft), seven of which have a height greater than 150 m (492 ft). The tallest building in the city is M3, a 260 m (854 ft), 81-storey building topped out in 2026 and planned to be completed the same year. Alongside Vaughan, Mississauga has one of the largest collections of tall buildings in the GTA outside of Toronto.

The first high-rises in the city appeared in the early 1970s, which each subsequent decade resulting in increased building heights. Between 2000 and 2010, Mississauga's skyline grew from having one high-rise taller than 100 m (328 ft) to 19.
