This list of tallest buildings in Bochum ranks high-rise buildings and important landmarks that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet).

The Europa-Haus opened in the southern city center in 1962 and is still a striking feature of the cityscape today. Between 1971 and 1975, four more buildings were added, including the Terrassen-Hochhaus, which is still Bochum's tallest residential building. Outside the Bochum city ring and the Querenburg district, on the development axis from the city ring to the university, the Exzenter-Haus followed in 2013. The Exzenter-Haus in Bochum is the tallest office building in the Central Ruhr region. In Bochum itself, there are currently two buildings that reach or exceed a height of 70 meters.
