The average age of the apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) has been increasing over time. As of January 1, 2023, the average age was about 78.7 years, which is the second highest average age ever recorded for LDS apostles. Most apostles in recent years have been called in their late 50s to early 60s, and none under 50 have been called since 1970. The current apostles often serve well into their 80s and 90s, with some reaching over 90 years old while still in office. The age range for newly called apostles has narrowed to approximately between 55 and 65 years old in the last 20 years. A current list from September 2025 shows the ages of some apostles ranging from around 64 to 93 years old, with the senior apostle being Dallin H. Oaks at 93 years old and the youngest being Patrick Kearon at 64 years old. In summary:

- Newly called apostles usually late 50s to early 60s.
- Some apostles serve into their 80s and 90s.
- Seniors range in age from mid-60s to early 90s presently.
