This is a list of Portuguese Presidents by longevity. Two measures of the longevity are given. The first is the number of days between date of birth and date of death; the second breaks this number down into years and days, with the years being the number of whole years the President lived, and the days being the remaining number of days after his last birthday. Mário Soares is the current oldest President still living and the 5th longest lived President ever. Where the person in question is still living, the longevity is calculated up to 16 February 2012.
