Jamkhopao Singson (1905? – 24 August 2021) was an Indian longevity claimant whose age is currently unvalidated by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG). He was a patriarch of Manipur, and died at the presumed age of 116. If this statement were true, it would lead him close to the age of the oldest validated man ever in the world, Jiroemon Kimura.
