The longest sensible one I know is:
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.
What is the correct term for words or phrases like these?
Is there a list somewhere on the Internet with good examples?

Raul, you've been fooled. Lions Oil is not a palindrome. It read Liosn oil backwards

It's called a Palindrome. Like, "Madam, I'm Adam."

The term used to describe a word or phrase that reads the same forward and backward is PALINDROME. More examples of this are 'Anna' and 'Draw, o coward'.
