This is a list of supercentenarians born in 1898. As of 1 November 2025, 130 of them have been validated by the GRG or MPIDR (three of whom are in limbo). 0 people are currently pending as of November 2024, which means that there is sufficient evidence to support their claim, but the validation process has not yet been completed.
There are 20 additional cases for which research has been made, but whose claimed ages have not yet been reviewed and processed by the GRG. This category is referred to as "unvalidated".
Cohort extinction took place on 6 April 2015 when Gertrude Weaver of the United States died at the age of 116 years, 276 days, though the oldest verified person to die from the year 1898 was Misao Okawa of Japan, 117 years, 27 days of age.
