This is a list of people who claim to be at least 115 years old. None of these individuals have been verified by the Gerontology Research Group or the Guinness World Records. It includes general traditions of extreme longevity, as well as specific longevity claims that are incompletely verified, such as those with missing birth or death dates or that arise from within general traditions. It also includes false or exaggerated claims. Traditions also include "diet, drugs, alchemy, physical practices, and of course mental states" that are believed to bring longevity to humans, especially in Eastern cultures. This list is for people whose age exceeds 115years. Claims under 115 years are included in the unofficial longevity list claims.

Note: Religious figures whose existence has not been verified are included in the list
