Demetrius Philipovitch (March 8, 1818 - fl. August 1928) was the first Serbian supercentenarian on record, having been validated by Guinness World Records. He is considered a "grandfathered" case - if investigated today, he would not be verified, but as he has not been debunked and was verified by GWR, he remains a verified supercentenarian. His exact date of death is unknown - he was last known to be alive in August of 1928. He, at last report of being alive, was at the age of 110 years 150 days. Upon his death, the oldest living person was Katherine Plunket. He was also the first male supercentenarian of the 20th century known.
