This contribution highlights selected results from the programme of precision Standard Model measurements of the ATLAS and CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The measurements presented use data from $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 8~TeV collected during the LHC Run-1, as well as first results using data at centre of mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 13~TeV in LHC Run-2. Results include measurements of the electroweak mixing angle, of the top-quark and Higgs boson masses, and a first LHC measurement of the mass of the $W$-bosons. Perspective for precision measurements at future High Luminosity runs of the LHC are also briefly discussed.
