Irving Kahn (December 19, 1905 – February 24, 2015) was an American investor and philanthropist.
He was the oldest living active investor.
He was an early disciple of Benjamin Graham, who popularized the value investing methodology.
Kahn was born on December 19, 1905, in New York City to Mamie (née Friedman; 1880–1946) and Saul Henry Kahn (1875–1964).
He attended the City College of New York and went on to serve as the second teaching assistant to Benjamin Graham at Columbia Business School.
At the time, other notable students and/or teaching assistants to Graham included future Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett and future value investors William J. Ruane, Walter J. Schloss, Charles Brandes, among others.
Graham had such an enormous influence on his students that both Kahn and Buffett named their sons after him.
The youngest sibling, Peter Keane (1910–2014), died at the age of 103.
Kahn began his career in 1928 and continued to work until his death.
He made his first trade—a short sale of a copper mining company—in the summer of 1929, months before the famous market crash in October of the same year.
Kahn named his third son, born in 1942, Thomas Graham, and Buffett, his first son, born in 1954, Howard Graham.
Kahn was a Chartered Financial Analyst and among the first round of applicants to take the CFA exam.
He was a founding member of the New York Society of Security Analysts and the Financial Analysts' Journal.

He was the president of the New York City Job and Career Center and was a trustee emeritus of the Jewish Foundation for Education of Women.
He was chairman of Kahn Brothers Group, Inc., the privately owned investment advisory and broker-dealer firm that he founded with his sons, Thomas and Alan, in 1978.
Kahn was the oldest active money manager on Wall Street.
In a magazine article in 2002, he was quoted as saying: "I'm at the stage in life where I get a lot of pleasure out of finding a cheap stock," adding that his research still pushed him to work evenings and weekends.
His son Thomas, then and still currently president of Kahn Brothers Group, said, "My father continues to research ideas and talk to companies. One of the nice things about this business is that there's no mandatory retirement age, and you allegedly get wiser as you get older."
Kahn, his sisters, and his brother were, collectively, the world's oldest living quartet of siblings.
Kahn himself lived to 109.
Kahn outlived his son Donald, who died suddenly on January 16, 2015, at the age of 79.
