This is list of towers - structures with limited floor space as compared to more regular buildings, and which supporting their own weight (as opposed to masts which are held standing by guylines).

Towers with guylines for their main structure or antenna are currently included.

Term "tower" is often used in names of skyscrapers, especially in United States. These structures are not included here.

For other high structures, as skyscrapers, see List of skyscrapers, for guyed masts, see List of masts and for the all-encompassing, see List of the world's tallest structures.

This list contains mainly towers of non-religious buildings. For church towers, see List of tallest church towers
