The last Great Pyramid as defined by most people would be Menkaure's, completed in 2510 bce. It stands at 65 meters/213 feet high. However, if you're defining a Great Pyramid as one built by a pharaoh, then the last one was for the first Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty. This was built by Ahmose I, who died in 1525 bce.
