{{About|validated specific supercentenarian claims by modern standards|modern, or complete, unvalidated supercentenarian claims|Longevity claims|historical, incomplete unvalidated supercentenarian claims|Longevity myths}}
This is a list of the world's oldest people, verified to the standards of the [[Gerontology Research Group]], [[Guinness World Records]], or both. Entries are ranked in descending order by individual ages in years and days, rather than ages in total days (the [[calendar year]] used is the time between one date and the subsequent date in a following year [[Intercalary|regardless of year lengths)]]. A verified [[supercentenarian]] is one whose claim to an age of 110 or more is supported by three documents or more, submitted in a standard process and validated in [[WP:RS|reliable fashion]], by an international body [[WP:N|widely recognized]] for specific expertise in longevity research.

The oldest verified person ever was [[France|French]] woman [[Jeanne Calment]], who died at the age of 122 years 164 days<ref name="Calment">{{Cite web
