Johnson Parks (15 October 1884 – 17 July 1998) was a verified American supercentenarian, who was for 84 days the oldest verified living male since the death of the 115-year-old Christian Mortensen (who held the title for the oldest recorded male ever at the time). He was succeeded in the title by Walter Richardson. He died at the age of 113 years, 275 days and still remains the tenth-oldest man ever recorded. He was the third-oldest verified man ever at the time of death, behind Mathew Beard and Christian Mortensen. He moved to Central Florida from Georgia in 1961. He was a farm labourer. He was survived by his daughter, Julia Forrest, son Willie Worwell and brother Erris Jackson.
