The Pentominium is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. When completed, the residential tower will stand at 516 m (1,693 ft) , with 120 floors above ground. It was designed by architects Aedas and funded by Trident International Holdings.

The Pentominium will be the tallest all-residential building in the world upon completion and it currently has the highest projected height of any residential building under construction. The funding company has encountered financial difficulties but is expected to finish the tower.

The word Pentominium is a portmanteau of the words penthouse and condominium. Each living space will have its own foyer. The top floors of the Pentominium will contain a lounge, pool, business centre and an observation deck along with a health club and a cigar lounge, squash, and a banqueting hall.
