This is a list of vice presidents of Brazil, in order of longevity. There are currently twenty-six Vice Presidents on the list and four living Vice Presidents since Geraldo Alckmin was inaugurated as the 24th President of Brazil on 1 January 2023. The list is in descending order and is correct as of 24 November 2024. The oldest president is Venceslau Brás (1868–1966), who died at the age of 98 years, 78 days. The oldest living former vice president, José Sarney (born 24 April 1930), will tie Venceslau Brás if he lives to 11 July 2028. The second oldest living former vice president, Michel Temer (born 23 September 1940), will also tie Brás if he lives to 22 February 2039.

The vice president with the longest retirement is Venceslau Brás. He left office on 15 November 1914 and died 51 years and 181 days later on 15 May 1966. The vice president with the shortest retirement is José Alencar, who died on 29 March 2011, 87 days after he left office on 1 January 2011. The median age at which a vice president is inaugurated is roughly 52 years and 339 days, which falls between Café Filho and Marco Maciel. The youngest person to assume office was João Goulart, at the age of 37 years and 336 days. The oldest person to assume office was José Alencar at the age of 71 years and 76 days.

To account for the different number of leap days within the life of each vice president, two measure of longevity are given. The first is the number of whole years the vice president lived, and the number of days past their last birthday. The second list the total number of days lived by the vice president, accounting for differing numbers of leap years within the lifespans of different vice presidents.

The longest period where there have been 5 living vice presidents was 1 year and 263 days, ending with the death of Bueno de Paiva in August 1928.
• Francisco de Assis Rosa e Silva was the only person to be both an only living vice president (from 9 November 1902 to 17 June 1903), and one of the 5 living vice presidents (from 15 November 1918 to 1 July 1920), (from 10 November 1920 to 7 May 1922), (from 15 November 1922 to 31 March 1924), and (from 15 November 1926 to 4 August 1928).
• There have been 9 administrations during which a vice president has not died, the most recent being the administration of Marco Maciel. This does not include the administration of the incumbent Geraldo Alckmin, as no vice president has died since Marco Maciel who died during Hamilton Mourão's administration.
  • Conversely, only during the administration of Adalberto Pereira dos Santos has there been as many as three deaths during an administration. Only twice (during the administrations of Melo Viana and Michel Temer) has there been as many as two deaths during an administration.
• Marco Maciel holds the distinction of serving for the longest period without the death of a vice president during his term (8 years and 0 days).
• The longest period between deaths of vice presidents was the 17 years and 229 days between the deaths of Augusto Rademaker on 13 September 1985 and Aureliano Chaves on 30 April 2003. The shortest was the 95 days between the deaths of José Alencar on 29 March 2011 and Itamar Franco on 2 July 2011.
  • If the longest period between deaths is to be exceeded, no vice president must die before 27 January 2039 (the current oldest and second oldest surviving presidents, José Sarney and Michel Temer, would then be 109 and 98 years old respectively).
  • The second longest period was the 16 years and 103 days between the deaths of Estácio Coimbra on 9 November 1937 and Melo Viana on 10 February 1954.
• Following his administration's end in 1914, Venceslau Brás lived to see a record 9 administrations prior to his death in May 1966. José Sarney follows with 6 administrations so far following the end of his administration in 1990.
• If one includes future as well as past and current vice presidents, the record sits at 17:
  • Between Hamilton Mourão's birth on 15 August 1953 and Melo Viana's death on 10 February 1954, the following vice presidents were alive: Venceslau Brás, Melo Viana, Nereu Ramos, Café Filho, João Goulart, José Maria Alkmin, Pedro Aleixo, Augusto Rademaker, Adalberto Pereira dos Santos, Aureliano Chaves, José Sarney, Itamar Franco, Marco Maciel, José Alencar, Michel Temer, Hamilton Mourão, and Geraldo Alckmin.

Oldest living vice presidents of Brazil

Not all vice presidents live to become the oldest of their time. Of the 22 deceased vice presidents, 12 eventually became the oldest of their time, while 10 did not. Venceslau Brás became the oldest living vice president when Francisco de Assis Rosa e Silva died in 1929 and remained so until his death for a record period of 36 years and 318 days. Pedro Aleixo became the oldest living vice president after the death of José Maria Alkmin but he survived Alkmin by only 315 days.

On one occasion the oldest living vice president lost this distinction not by his death, but due to the inauguration of a vice president who was older. Francisco de Assis Rosa e Silva lost this distinction when Afonso Pena was inaugurated in 1903, but when Pena died in 1909, e Silva regained it again until his own death for a total period of 24 years and 231 days.

Augusto Rademaker was the oldest to acquire this distinction at the age of 78 years, and 327 days. Itamar Franco, who died at the age of 81 years and 4 days old on 2 July 2011, was the oldest vice president to die without ever acquiring this distinction. Marco Maciel who died at the age of 80 years and 326 days of age on 12 June 2021 is the most recent vice president to die without ever acquiring this distinction.
