Walter Breuning (born September 21, 1896) is an American supercentenarian aged 112, who is, as of May 2008, one of the 30 oldest verified living people in the world, the fourth-oldest man in the world and the second-oldest one in the United States. As of July 2008, he is also one of the 30-oldest men ever. On his 110th birthday, Breuning was declared the oldest living retired railroader in the United States. The governor of Montana, Brian Schweitzer, and the city mayor attended his celebration.

Despite having lived at the Rainbow Retirement and Assisted Living Center in Great Falls, Montana for the last 27 years, Breuning is still in excellent health. He is able to walk, eats two meals a day, and always wears a suit and tie. He still maintains a very sharp and accurate memory. In November 2007, at the age of 111, Breuning was fitted with hearing aids.
