The following are 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, LongeviQuest, 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 Ethel Caterham of the United Kingdom, who has lived {{Age in years and days|1909|8|21}}. She was born on 21 August 1909.{{Cite web |date=2024-12-29 |title=Oldest woman living |url=https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/67477-oldest-person-living-female |access-date=2025-01-04 |website=Guinness World Records}} The oldest living verified man is João Marinho Neto of Brazil, who has lived {{Age in years and days|1912|10|5}}.

Ten oldest verified people
{{Main|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.{{cite news |last=Whitney |first=Craig R. |date=5 August 1997 |title=Jeanne Calment, World's Elder, Dies at 122 |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C01E7D7113DF936A3575BC0A961958260 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080403053404/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C01E7D7113DF936A3575BC0A961958260 |archive-date=3 April 2008 |access-date=2 March 2008 |work=The New York Times}} She received news media attention in 1985, after turning 110.

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.
