This is a list of the tallest buildings in Saint John, New Brunswick. Saint John is a city on the Fundy coast of New Brunswick and is the first incorporated city in Canada. It is the capital and second largest city in the province.

As of 2026, Saint John contains 5 buildings that stand taller than 50 m and 14 high-rise buildings that exceed 30 m (98 ft) in height. The tallest building in the city is the 19-storey, 81 m Brunswick Square. This building is tied with Assumption Place in Moncton for the tallest building in New Brunswick. In addition, Brunswick Square is the second largest office building by floor space in all of Atlantic Canada, after the Maritime Centre in Halifax. The second-tallest building in the city is Saint John City Hall, standing at 55.2 m tall with 16 storeys.

In July 2018, Irving Oil began construction on a new headquarters in Uptown Saint John, next to the imperial theatre. This building is 11 storeys and 59 m in height, making it the city's second tallest building. The tallest proposed development that could be under construction soon in Saint John is the Coast Guard Redevelopment project, with three proposed towers all 52 m tall with 12 floors. If constructed, the Coast Guard Redevelopment will be the single largest residential construction project ever undertaken in New Brunswick.

A new 11-storey residential high-rise, 99 King, is under construction as of 2026. Upon completion, it would be the first residential high-rise built in the city in over 30 years.

City Market

The Saint John City Market is the oldest continuing farmer's market in Canada, with a charter dating from 1785. Located in Saint John, New Brunswick and completed in 1876, the current market building has a unique roof structure that resembles an inverted ship's keel. Made of wooden trusses, the structure was reportedly built by unemployed ship carpenters of the day. Also, the floor slopes with the natural grade of the land. The architecture is in the Second Empire style.

Some of the businesses in the market have been operating continuously there for more than 100 years. Facing onto Kings Square, the market is connected to the city's indoor pedway system.

The market was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1986.
