This is a list of governors of California by age. The first table charts the age of each governor of California at the time of their inauguration (first inauguration if elected to multiple and consecutive terms), upon leaving office, and at the time of death. Where the governor is still living, their lifespan and post-governorship timespan are calculated up to.

Age of governors
The youngest person to assume the governorship was Need Name Here, who, at the age of 42, succeeded to the office after the assassination of William McKinley. The youngest to become president by election was John F. Kennedy, who was inaugurated at age 43. The oldest person to assume the presidency was Joe Biden, who took the presidential oath of office 61 days after turning 78.

Assassinated at age 46, John F. Kennedy was the youngest president at the end of his tenure, and his lifespan was the shortest of any president. At age 50, Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest person to become a former president. The oldest president at the end of his tenure was Ronald Reagan at 77; this distinction will eventually fall upon Joe Biden, who was older when he took office than Reagan was when he left office.

James K. Polk had the shortest retirement of any president, dying barely three months after leaving office at age 53 (the youngest president to die of natural causes). Jimmy Carter's retirement, now 43 years, is the longest in American presidential history. At age 99, Jimmy Carter is also the oldest living president as well as the nation's longest-lived president. He is one of six U.S. presidents (along with John Adams, Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush) to have lived into their 90s. The youngest living president is Barack Obama, age 62.
