I haven't been able to find any official measurement of height, but I have possibly found something better.

Divers in the Rhone near Arles, France, just uncovered one of the most life-like busts of Caesar, from his older days. The bust is here:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/05/080516-AP-caesar.html

As everyone knows, Caesar was assassinated by about 60 Senators led by Marcus Brutus and Caius Cassius on March 15, 44 B.C. This death, on the "Ides of March" gave rise to Shakespeare's famous "Beware the Ides of March" from [i]Julius Caesar[/i].

In looking at the photo, Caesar's general build seems to be that of a shorter individual. That bust is exceedingly lifelike (a lot more lifelike than artists would be able to reproduce from the fall of Rome through the Renaissance). Could you see that head on top of a six foot tall or taller body? I couldn't. Given that most Roman soldiers were estimated to be between 5'6" and 5'11" tall (the average height of a well-fed human male in any culture, anyway), there's a good chance Caesar was in that window.

We don't know exactly. The ancient writer Seutonius, describes him as tall, fair and well-built. No mention of his exact height.
