This article lists the oldest known living twins and oldest twins ever.
Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Twins can be either monozygotic ('identical'), meaning that they develop from one zygote, which splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic ('fraternal'), meaning that each twin develops from a separate egg and each egg is fertilized by its own sperm cell.
The following is a list of the oldest twins in the world that are still alive. Only cases with both twins reported to be alive in the last year are included.
