The lowest point on earth is located on the shore of the Dead Sea, on the Israel-Jordan border. The altitude of this point ranges from 394 meters (1,292 ft.) to 400 meters (1,312 ft.) below sea level. Time is the reason this value has changed. With the low replenishment rate, extreme heat, and high evaporation, the level of the Dead Sea is lowering at a rate of approximately 1 meter every 10 years.
There will never be an exact measurement for the depth of the shores of the Dead Sea. It will increase, below sea level, constantly, until the water level reaches zero. This situation would make the lowest point on earth the sea's floor bed, which is almost a half mile down, or 800 meters (2600 ft.) below sea level.

The dead sea is the lowest point 'on land'. Well OK technically the land beside the dead sea.
There are some trenches in the ocean that go very very deep. Nobody has ever measured them accurately yet so we're not quite sure, if thats what you mean.
P.S. Death Valley is the lowest point in North America.
P.P.S. Why is this question asked in the Chemistry section? (just curious)
