This is a list of Cuban supercentenarians (people from Cuba who have reached the age of 110 or over) and whose lifespans have been validated by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group (GRG), the Guinness World Records (GWR) or the International Database on Longevity (IDL). So far, the oldest validated person ever in Cuba was Faustina Sarmiento Pupo (1905–2019) who died at the age of 114 years, 213 days, and the oldest known man ever in Cuba was Pedro Batista Layana (1909–2021) who died at the age of 111 years, 255 days.

This page lists Cuban supercentenarian claims under the claimed age of 115. Any exaggerated claimants that have reached their claimed 115th birthday can go to list of longevity claims.
