Cassandra Sutton (25 June 1599 – 15 April 1710) was a British supercentenarian. She was the world's oldest person in the world from the early 1700s until her death on 15 April 1710, aged 110 years and 294 days. Until her death, she was also the last living person to have been born in the 1500s.
She worked as a domestic servant in her early 20s to mid 60s, which was a common job for women in Britain at the time. She also helped people in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
In February 1710, she got a throat infection, and she eventually died after 2 months. She was buried shortly afterwards.
