Michael Jackson's height was generally reported to be around 5 feet 9 inches (5'9") or approximately 175 cm. Some sources and people who met him estimated his height between 5'8" and 5'10", but the most consistent official listing is 5'9".

He sometimes appeared taller due to his slim physique and the type of footwear he wore, including boots with heels, but the autopsy and most official records list his height as about 5'9".
