The longest word is 189,819 letters. It's the chemical name of Titin.
However, *Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest English word that appears in the Oxford dictionary and is sometimes used in word/puzzle games, with 45 letters.

I can't write it here - but have included a link below. It's "the chemical name for titan (aka connectin), a human protein, and the largest known protein."
