Mt, Etna in Italy is thought to be the world's oldest active volcano. The first record of its eruption dates back to 1500 BC. Since then, Etna has erupted 190 times. It is one of the largest continental volcanoes and has the largest record of historic eruptions.
It last erupted in 1993 which was its largest. In mythology, Etna was identified as the location of the forge of Vulcan, home of the Cyclopes and the giant Enceladus. Here, the eruptions refer to the giant's breath and earthquakes to his motion.

∙ 10y agoEveryone keeps saying Etna. But I do not think that is accurate.
Mount Copahue in Chile is an Active Volcano as well, and has been going since the Pliocene. It's more than 350,000 years old, its closer to 1.2 Million years old. But even then, I do not think it is the oldest Active volcano on Earth, but it is definately older than Etna.
