In supplement to the national longevity recordholders page, which is for the oldest people ever in a certain country, this page is for the oldest people currently still alive in a certain country. As comprehensive birth registration largely came into being in the 20th century and no one born in that century has yet reached supercentenarian age, records are necessarily fragmentary. The earliest comprehensive recordkeeping systems arose in Europe, the only place that any persons born in the 19th century can be documented above the level of longevity myths. For example, the United Kingdom organized a central recordkeeping system for England and Wales in 1837, which was compulsory by 1874.

This article gives the recordholders for various countries to the extent that they have been established. Each country covered has produced at least one person who reached the age of 110 or more. Most recordholders are female with male recordholders being noted. Those born in one country who moved to another are identified.

This article uses links to those who have biographies and boldfaces the names of those who do not. It should not be assumed that every person mentioned in an article therefore merits his or her own article.

For a global overview of living longevity recordholders, see the supercentenarian article, and for the need to treat exaggerated claims with skepticism given the extreme documented mortality curves, see the longevity myths article.
