French supercentenarians are citizens, residents or emigrants from France who have attained or surpassed 110 years of age. As of January 2015, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of 161 French supercentenarians. France was home to the oldest human being ever whose longevity was well documented, Jeanne Calment, who lived in Arles for 122 years and 164 days.

The oldest living French person, is Lucile Randon, born 11 February 1904, aged 116 years, 112 days as of 2 June 2020. Randon is also the second oldest living person in the world behind Japanese woman Kane Tanaka. The verified oldest French man ever was Maurice Floquet, a veteran of World War I who lived 111 years and 320 days across three centuries (1894–2006).
