In supplement to the list of oldest people by nation article, which is for the oldest people ever in a certain country, this page is for the oldest people currently alive by country. As comprehensive birth registration largely came into existence 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 according to modern standards. 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. Most recordholders are female with male recordholders being noted. Those born in one country who moved to another are identified.

Some of the below "recordholders" may be recognized by their nation as at least 110 years old (the minimum age to qualify for the world's oldest people list) but have not been internationally verified.
