{{Notelist}}
Amalia Ruggieri-Barone, an Italian immigrant to the United States, has been removed from this list; she has been surpassed in age by Virginia Dighero-Zolezzi, a resident Italian, and her status as the oldest emigrant is thus no longer relevant.

Jeanne Calment (here depicted at age 20 in 1895) holds the record for the longest documented lifespan with 122 years and 164 days.

This is a list of tables of the oldest people in the world in ordinal ranks. To avoid including false or unconfirmed claims of old age, names here are restricted to those people whose ages have been validated by an international body dealing in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group or Guinness World Records, and others who have otherwise been reliably sourced.

The longest documented and verified human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), a woman who lived to the age of 122 years and 164 days. As women live longer than men on average, women predominate in combined records. The longest lifespan for a man is that of Jiroemon Kimura of Japan (1897–2013), who lived to the age of 116 years and 54 days.

The oldest living person in the world whose age has been validated is 116-year-old Inah Canabarro Lucas of Brazil, born 8 June 1908. The oldest living verified man is 112-year-old João Marinho Neto of Brazil, born 5 October 1912.

Ten oldest verified people ever

Main article: List of the verified oldest people

Systematic verification of longevity has only been practiced since the 1950s and only in certain parts of the world. All ten oldest verified people ever are female.

The longest documented and verified human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France, a woman who lived to age 122 years and 164 days. She received news media attention in 1985, after turning 110. Calment's claim was investigated and authenticated by Jean-Marie Robine and Dr. Michel Allard for the Gerontology Research Group (GRG). Her longevity claim was put into question in 2018, but the original assessing team stood by their judgement.

Chronological list of the oldest known living person since 1951

This table lists the sequence of the world's oldest known living person from 1951 to present, according to GRG research and the Guinness World Records. Due to the life expectancy difference between sexes, nearly all the oldest living people have been women (thus the maximum life span is guided by the female numbers); a sequence of the oldest living men is provided below the main list.
