Wisma Sanyan is the tallest building in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. Located in Sibu town, the building has the capacity to hold 10,000 people at any single time. The building is also the 48th tallest building in Malaysia.

Opened in 2001, the building serves many purposes, amongst them shopping mall, restaurant, hotel and offices. It is the headquarters of Sanyan Group, which is one of Sarawak's largest timber companies. It houses Parkson and Giant Supermarket.

Besides that, government agencies such as the Public Works Department, Sarawak State Religious Department and also local authorities such as the Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) and Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) are also based here. However most of the Government agencies (with the exception of Public Works Department, SRDC and SMC) have relocated to the brand-new Sarawak Islamic Complex building.

Wisma Sanyan's title as Borneo's tallest building will be taken by the nearly completed Sabah State Administrative Centre in Kota Kinabalu once the latter is completed.
