This isn't very precise, but it's the best I could find:

"Mr Rumsfeld does not dominate a room physically. In appearance he is
slim and dapper, a man of medium height invariably dressed in
expensive American suits that nevertheless contrive to look cheap. It
is rather his personality that takes control, manifest in his
self-confidence, sharp tongue and earthy single-mindedness."

Here's a picture of Rumsfeld with Michael Jordan, who is 6'6":

In photos showing Rumsfeld with George W. Bush, Rumsfeld appears to be
about two inches shorter than the President, who is 5'11" tall.

Looks to me as if Pinkfreud's pegged it pretty well.  The April 14,
2003 New Yorker has a brief article called "Rummy Meets His Match"
that talks about Donald Rumsfeld wrestling in the 157-pound weight
class for Princeton in the 1953 Eastern Intercollegiates.  However, no
height numbers (and it's not online either).

And like me, Mr. Rumsfeld probably wishes he were 157-pounds again.

Best regards,
