Inah Canabarro Lucas (Portuguese pronunciation: [iˈna kanaˈbaʁu ˈlukɐs]; 8 June 1908 – 30 April 2025) was a Brazilian Catholic nun and supercentenarian. At the age of 116 years, 326 days, she was the world's oldest verified living person after the death of Tomiko Itooka in 2024, until her own death on 30 April 2025.

One of the first Brazilian nuns of the Teresian Sisters, she taught several subjects at Teresian schools in Brazil and Uruguay. She assisted in establishing marching bands at two schools, including the 115-instrument band at the Colégio Santa Teresa that performed across Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Canabarro Lucas was celebrated for her longevity several times, including in a 2018 letter from Pope Francis.
