The following is the list of the States of Mexico by life expectancy. The country is administratively divided into 32 federative entities (Spanish : entidades federativas): 31 states and Mexico City. Mexico has seen declines in some states due to increasing crime in many Mexican cities, especially Ciudad Juarez.

The Data in the 2017 and 2010 columns come from the IHME GBD Results tool.
