The oldest monotheistic religion is Atenism, the ancient Egyptian sun worshipping cult. It was propagated by the pharaoh Akhenaten in 1346 BC. The sun god Aten was worshiped as early as 2000 BC, but it is unlikely to have had monotheistic followers long before Akhenaten.
Judaism is indeed old, perhaps older than Atenism, but it was not monotheistic until 587 BC, when Solomon's temple was destroyed, and the Jews were exiled. It was a monolatrist religion prior to that, meaning they only worshiped one god, but they recognized the existence of other gods (mainly Canaanite and Babylonian deities).
Islam claims to be the oldest monotheism, but hardly any historians or archaeologists agree.
