This is a list of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom by age. This table can be sorted to display prime ministers of the United Kingdom by name, order of office, date of birth, age at appointment, length of retirement, or lifespan. Age at appointment is determined by the day a prime minister assumed office for the first time. Length of retirement is determined from the day a prime minister leaves office for the final time until their death.

Two measures of longevity are given; this is to allow for the differing number of leap days occurring within the life of each Prime Minister. The first figure is the number of days between date of birth and date of death, allowing for leap days; in parentheses the same period given in years and days, with the number of whole years that the Prime Minister had lived, and the days being the remaining number of days from their last birthday. Where the prime minister in question is still living, their longevity is measured up to {{FULLDATE|type=dmy}}.

Overview

The median age upon accession to the premiership is 53 years and 87 days, which falls between Earl of Derby (23rd) and Margaret Thatcher (24th). The youngest Prime Minister to assume office was William Pitt the Younger (aged 24 years, 205 days). The youngest Prime Minister to leave office was Duke of Grafton (aged 34 years, 122 days). The oldest Prime Minister to assume office for the first time was Viscount Palmerston (aged 70 years, 109 days). If the next General Election is held after 12 September 2019 and his party were to win the most seats therein, Jeremy Corbyn would surpass Palmerston as the oldest Prime Minister to assume the office for the first time. The oldest Prime Minister to be appointed overall was William Ewart Gladstone (aged 82 years, 230 days) when he was appointed for the fourth and final time on 15 August 1892. Gladstone was also the oldest Prime Minister to leave office (aged 84 years, 63 days) at his final retirement on 2 March 1894.

There are currently five living British prime ministers including incumbent Theresa May.

The oldest living former Prime Minister is John Major, born 29 March 1943 (aged {{age in years and days|1943|3|29}}). Gordon Brown is the second oldest, 7 years and 328 days younger than Major. Brown was born on 20 February 1951 (aged {{age in years and days|1951|2|20}}).

The youngest living former Prime Minister is David Cameron, born 9 October 1966 (aged {{age in years and days|1966|10|9}}). Tony Blair is the second youngest, 13 years and 156 days older than Cameron. Blair was born on 6 May 1953 (aged {{age in years and days|1953|5|6}}).

The longest-lived prime minister, James Callaghan, died on the eve of his 93rd birthday on 26 March 2005. Harold Macmillan was the second longest-lived, 42 days short of Callaghan. The oldest living prime minister, John Major, will tie Macmillan if he lives to 15 February 2036 and tie Callaghan if he lives to 28 March 2036. The second-oldest living prime minister, Gordon Brown, will tie Macmillan if he lives to 8 January 2044 and tie Callaghan if he lives to 19 February 2044. The shortest-lived prime minister, Duke of Devonshire, was 44 years and 147 days old when he died on 2 October 1764.

The prime minister with the longest retirement is Duke of Grafton, at 41 years and 45 days. He achieved this record on 1 January 1799, surpassing Earl of Bute, who died 28 years, 337 days after leaving office. Bute held the record for 7 years. The closest any subsequent prime minister has been to Grafton's record was Henry Addington, who left office on 10 May 1804 and died 39 years and 281 days later on 15 February 1844. Of the four former prime ministers currently alive, John Major has been retired the longest, having left office on 2 May 1997. If he is still alive on 24 June 2038, he will surpass Grafton's record and become the longest-lived prime minister after office. The prime minister with the shortest retirement is Henry Campbell-Bannerman, who died only 15 days after leaving office.

Four British prime ministers have lived into their nineties. They are (in order of birth):

Oldest living prime ministers of the United Kingdom

{{See also|Living Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom}}

Not all prime ministers live to become the oldest of their time. Of the 49 deceased prime ministers, 30 eventually became the oldest of their lifetime, while 19 did not (including 4 of the 7 prime ministers who died in office, Earl of Wilmington, Henry Pelham, and Viscount Palmerston being the only exceptions). Henry Addington became the oldest living prime minister when Duke of Grafton died in 1811 and remained so until his death in 1844, for a record of almost 33 years. Edward Heath became the oldest living prime minister after the death of James Callaghan, but he survived Callaghan by only 113 days. On two occasions the oldest living prime minister lost this distinction not by his death, but due to the appointment of a prime minister who was older. Robert Walpole lost this distinction when Earl of Wilmington was appointed, then a year later when Wilmington died in office Walpole regained it again until his own death in 1745 for a total period of 22 years, and 207 days. Earl of Rosebery lost it when Henry Campbell-Bannerman was appointed, but regained it again when Campbell-Bannerman died. Consequently, Rosebery too was the oldest living prime minister twice: first from 1903 to 1905 (after the death of Lord Salisbury), and a second time after Campbell-Bannerman's death in 1908 until his own death in 1929 for a total period of 23 years, and 134 days. Edward Heath was the oldest to acquire this distinction at age 89. Anthony Eden, who was 79 years and 216 days old when he died, was the oldest prime minister to die without also being the oldest prime minister. Harold Wilson who died on 24 May 1995 at 79 years and 74 days old, is the most recent prime minister to die without ever acquiring this distinction.
