This is a list of Colombian people who claim to have reached the age of 110. Currently, there have been two validated supercentenarians to live in Colombia. In addition, there is one pending supercentenarian. Furthermore, there are also a few supercentenarians that were born in Colombia but emigrated to other countries.

The oldest validated person ever from Colombia is Ana Sara Marquez (1904–2016), who died at the age of 112 years, 33 days, however, Carmen Emilia Jaramillo (1906–2020) was older, and her age is currently pending by the GRG, which means that there is sufficient evidence supporting her claim, but the validation process has not yet been completed. The oldest validated man ever from Colombia was Daniel Guzman-Garcia (1897–2008), who died at the age of 111 years, 105 days.

This page lists Colombian supercentenarian claims under the claimed age of 115. Any claimants that have reached their claimed 115th birthday can go to Longevity claims.
