Josefa Salas Mateo (14 July 1860 – 27 February 1973) was the "World's Oldest Person", according to Guinness World Records, from 1970–1973. She claimed to be a year older than validated (contemporary news reports from Spain reveal she claimed birth in 1859, which would have made her 113 at death, and would have put her 14 days ahead of the age of Delina Filkins). Ms. Salas Mateo was long the Spanish recordholder before her age was surpassed in the 1990s. She was the last WOP titleholder to gain the WOP title before attaining supercentenarian status.
