Sears Tower is the tallest skyscraper in Chicago and in North America.
Sears Tower is currently the fourth tallest in the world. It will fall further down the list as other taller buildings are currently under construction and being planned. See the link below for current stats.

Right now it is the Sears Tower but, if the Fordham Spire gets built it will be the tallest building in Chicago.

The tallest skyscaper in Chicago was Sears Tower which it has has 108 stories as counted by standard methods, though the building owners count the main roof as 109 and the mechanical penthouse roof as 110. The distance to the roof is 1,450 feet, 7 inches (442 m), measured from the east entrance. In February 1982, two television antennas were added to the structure, increasing its total height to 1,707 feet (520 m). The western antenna was later extended to 1,729 feet (527 m) on June 5, 2000 to improve reception of local NBC station WMAQ-TV. In the process it surpassed the height of the antenna on 1 World Trade Center. Two-story high black bands appear on the tower around the 30th–32nd, 64th–65th, 88th–89th and 106th–107th floors. These are louvers which allow ventilation for service equipment and obscure the structure's belt trusses which Sears Roebuck did not want to be visible as on the John Hancock Center.
