This article is about the vampire characters. See Methuselah (disambiguation) for other uses.

Methuselah are fictional powerful vampires from White Wolf Game Studio's books, role-playing games Vampire: The Masquerade and, Vampire: The Dark Ages. In addition, in Vampire: The Eternal Sruggle players take the role of a Methuselah.

In the core rulebook of Vampire: The Masquerade, Methuselahs are described as vampires of Fourth and Fifth Generations:

They are millenia old, exceedingly rare, and almost as powerful as the Third Generation. Few of this Kindred remain active participants in the Jyhad, as their potent blood is craved by vampires younger than they. Many Methuselahs take refuge in hidden torpor, where they may avoid attempts at diablerie by lesser Kindred and control their own forces in the Jyhad. In recent years, a number of powerful Methuselahs are whispered to have risen in far corners of the Earth, and the most influential members of the Camarilla's Inner Circle and the Sabbat's regent and prisci are rumored to be Methuselahs.
