From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of United States Attorneys General in order of longevity. There are currently eighty Attorneys General on the list and eleven living Attorneys General. The list is in descending order and is correct as of October 24, 2024. The oldest Attorney General is William B. Saxbe (1916 - 2010), who died at the age of 94 years, 61 days. The oldest living Attorney General is Nicholas Katzenbach. He is currently 102 years, 281 days old and has held the title of oldest living Attorney General since August 24, 2010.

To account for the different number of leap days within the life of each Attorney General, two measures of longevity are given. The first is the number of whole years the Attorney General lived, and the number of days past their last birthday. The second lists the total number of days lived by the Attorney General.
