The longest word in any major English language dictionary is:

"pneumono­ultra­micro­scopic­silico­volcano­coniosis"

a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of volcanic ash

From Wikipedia:
The longest non-technical word is flocci­nauci­nihili­pili­fication at 29 letters. Consisting of a series of Latin words meaning "nothing" and defined as "the act of estimating something as worthless," its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741

"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," at 45 letters, appears in some modern dictionaries and, though it's a fairly recently coined scientific term for the lung disease that strikes folks who live near volcanoes (and breathe in silicon dust), may be considered to be the longest by some folks.
