The shortest complete sentence is a noun (subject) and a verb.
There are many, as the various answers show.
The shortest in the bible for instance is "Jesus wept".

The word "I" when used in direct speech, and indicating hesitation in the speaker by the use of ellipsis.
eg
"Tell me the answer?"
"I..."
"Come on out with it!"
Therefore "I" is the shortest sentence in the English language.

"No"
I guess that you could also have a complete sentence, which is an answer to a question, which consists of just one letter.
the shortest verse in the bible consists of two words; "Jesus wept"

I am is officially the shortest since it contains a verb and preposition.
