This list of tallest statues includes completed statues that are at least 50 m (164 ft) tall. The height values in this list are measured to the highest part of the human or animal figure, but exclude the height of any pedestal (plinth), or other base platform as well as any mast, spire, or other structure that extends higher than the tallest figure in the monument. The definition of statue for this list is a free-standing sculpture (as opposed to a relief), representing one or more people or animals (real or mythical), in their entirety or partially (such as a bust).
