Slava Ivančević (Слава Иванчевић; 10 June 1894? or 1908 — 24 September 2013) was a Serbian woman claimed to have been aged 7009376451280000000♠119 years, 106 days at her death, which if true could have made her the world's oldest person and second oldest person ever after Jeanne Calment.
Those claiming that she was born in 1894 did not send sufficient documentation to the Guinness World Records to prove her age before she died. There were also claims that she was not born in 1894, but in 1908.
