Alyson Hannigan's Height
5ft 4 (162.6 cm)
American actress, best known for playing Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lily on How I Met Your Mother and Michelle in the American Pie films. On her twitter page - in response to somebody mentioning her as being 5ft 6 - she said "I'm 5'4 actually. Jason 6'4!". In these photos I was wearing near 1in Nike, whilst Alyson had a 1.3 inch boot in the single shot and near 0.7 inch Converse sneakers in the double shot.

She is 5'4 out of bed and probably walking around at 5'3.5-5'3.7.

Many women of 5ft4 feel cheated in height unless they’re wearing high heels. I suppose it’s going to depend on the size of the people in your area. I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll do so again: there was a quiz presenter in the noughties who went on and on about how TINY👌🏼 she is so much so that it became boring! When I found out that she was 5ft4, I said to my bloke, that’s not TINY, just a bit below average and he said that it’s fairly small, but he used to go out with a 6-footer.
Yes, it’s completely relative to what you’re used to and stuff the statistics! Shop displays base their popular items on average heights in their area.

I would say a weak 5'4 in both the pics (accounting for the footwear swing of each).

It's just a flash in the pan ago that I was watching Alyson as a young girl in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'! Today she turns 45 - but still young, and not old enough to have lost any height yet, and for quite some time to come.
Happy Birthday Alyson! 🍻

She is 5'4", I seen her on an episode of That 70's Show where she looked about as tall as Mila Kunis. She is roughly a whole foot shorter than Jason Segel in HIMYM. Alyson is five FOOT FOUR!

I would say just under 5'4 my coworker claims 5'5 and she is probably 5'3.75 because I am 5'9.5 and she's well under my eyeline which is just over 5'5

She is one of my faves from Buffy. This listing sounds right although in an episode of the show she looked exactly the same height as Seth green. Though I guess he could of had thicker footware

This listing isn't impossible but it is more likely that Alyson is below 5'4" rather than above it!

I haven't seen this picture before, Rob; someone I know would be mighty jealous!
Alyson can have 5ft4, the only height I have ever known for her.

Looks accurate if she almost had half-inch more footwear (although I can't tell if Rob is tilting his head a bit or not).

Rob, I hear that she is going to be at the London Film and Comic Con this year! To be honest though, it seems very rare for sitcom actors/actresses to attend these types of events. But it's primarily for her role as Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This little redhead was far and away my favourite of Buffy's mates! I remember when the group of friends were making good their escape in a very comfortable and homely-looking van and all Willow could say as they sped off into the night was "mind the horsies!" I thought that was smashing! 🐎🐎🚘🐎🐎 😍
Alyson wasn't noticeably taller than Sarah, so I feel 5ft4 to be a good shout!

Well this certainly makes more sense with Alexis, as she can certainly look over a foot shorter. Still, she could be strong 5'4 range, 5ft4.25.
Really there is no way to continue justifying Amber Benson at 5'4, now that Hannigan is down to 5'4 flat.

@height: Yeah, because a 5'3.5 person looks so different from a 5'4-5'4.5 person next to someone who is 6'4.... she isn't under 5'4, Amber Benson is somewhere 5'3-5'3.5 range and was an inch shorter than her.

My mom is best friends with Pam Fryman, and knows Alyson Hannigan pretty well, and she says that Alyson is about 5´4", perhaps she could need a slight downgrade. Anyways, we got to meet up with the cast last summer, and we hung out at the beach, and everyone was barefoot. I am 5´8" and my mom is 5´9". I was 1" taller than Cobie Smulders, which makes her around 5´7". Neil Patrick Harris had about 2" on me, and Josh Radnor had 2.5". Jason Segel is as tall as his listing here, 6´4". NPH also admitted that they, especially him, are using various lifts and build-ups inside their shoes to make the height difference seem smaller.
So, NPH (5´10"), Radnor (5´10.5") and Smulders (5´7") should all be downgraded.
Wish I had some pictures to back this up, but the only ones i´ve got, we are all sitting down.

She is 5'4"- on How I Met Your Mother, Marshall is said to be 6'4", and he has at least 9 inches on her when she's wearing heels. When she isn't, he's about a foot taller than her.

She's 5'4", 5'5" tops, but I definitely believe her being 5'4" over 5'5". On Buffy, she looked no more than two inches taller than 5'2

i personally think that Alyson is 5'5", 5'6" because of how skinny her body looks and if you are average height and you have a slim frame you tend to look taller in person than you do on camera that's the thing!

she´s 5'5'', she´s not that tall but not that small either. like someone said before in first season of Buffy, Sarah always wears shoes with 2 inch heels and Alyson trainers. and alyson is still slightly taller than her, about 0.5-1 inch. so she´s 5'5'', change her height to it, Rob, u can trust me, hihi.=)

Well, I just saw her on Ellen's show(Date Movie interview). If we're going with Ellen at 5 foot 7 and half, Aly Hanni was about 3 inches shorter while barefoot(Ellen had her usual inch-high trainers), so she's probably just about 5'5 even.

alright, just curious, she's 114 pounds and 5'6" according to a website, but seriously, thats practically bone and skin. so maybe it's more like a half inch shorter or something or the weight is more??

I agree with the second Anonymous. Sarah is 5'3 and Alyson looks close in height so 5'4 or 5'4.5 seems about right.

In a fan interview with fellow Buffy co-star Amber Benson, "She’s just a smidgen taller than me, just a smidgen. I mean we’re like both the same height. But she’s just got that little bit. Maybe because she’s smaller than me she might look taller".
Amber (said she's 5ft 4, but I think is a tad close to 5ft 4.5). Alyson maybe is like Jennifer 'I'm 5ft 4 and 3/4' Aniston.

Alyson is around 5'6 because on Buffy she always seems to be a least 3 inches taller than Sarah who is 5'2. Also, she seems to be close in height to Michelle who is 5'7.

Alyson's always looked to be around the same height as Sarah Michelle Geller when stood next to her. Sarah is 5'3" so I think Alyson's closer to 5'4 than 5'6.
