The Japanese tsunami (March 2011) was more than 10 meters high in some places. That's higher than a two story house.

However, there was one in Lituya Bay in Alaska (9 July 1958) that was over 1700 feet (520 meters, more than half a kilometer) high and was the highest recorded in history. This tsunami was caused by a landslide.
