Thomas Peters (April 6, 1745? — March 26, 1857) was a Dutch supercentenarian claimant and possibly the first supercentenarian on record; however, he is currently unverified by the GRG. He was born in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, and died in Arnhem, Netherlands. He was verified by Guinness World Records; however, the documents used to verify him have since been lost.

- Thomas Peters (6 April 1745 – 26 March 1857) was a Dutch supercentenarian. He is the earliest recorded supercentarian accepted by Guinness World Records. Originally in a footnote, the Peters case was later promoted although subsequent questions were raised about documentation. Indeed, it appears that if the documentation ever existed, it has been lost. Thus, on paper Thomas Peters lived to be 111 years and 354 days, but scientifically the lack of reproducible evidence makes this case subject to doubt. His death certificate says that he died at the age of 'Hundred and twelve Years' (in Dutch), with the age written by the registrar in especially beautiful hand writing compared to the remainder of the certificate.
