Mae (Maxwell) Harrington (January 20, 1889 - December 29, 2002) is the oldest person in the history of the state of New York, breaking the record held since the 1920s by then world's oldest person Delina Filkins. Born in Rochester, she became the oldest recognized person in the USA at the death of Adelina Domingues. After she died at almost age 114, the oldest recognized person in the United States was Mary Christian.

Because she was not authenticated during het lifetime, the public recognition she was due went to Mary Parr (February 1, 1889 - October 29 2002), and her age was only validated posthumously.
