This is a very complicated question. First off it depends on what your definition is. The Western Roman Empire fell when Emperor Romulus Augustus was dethroned by the barbarian king Odoacer in 476, but some sources claim it ended in 480 with the death of the last de jure Emperor Julius Nepos.

The Eastern Roman Empire is even more uncertain. Some could say it ended when the crusaders of the fourth crusade captured Constantinople and replaced the Byzantine Empire with the "Latin Empire" in 1204. But the Byzantine Empire was restored in 1261 under the Palaiologoi, which most believe reinstated the Roman Empire as well. After that Constantinople fell in 1453 to the Ottomans, which most believe was the true end of the Roman Empire, though many "successor states" would claim the time of Roman Empire, until the last one, the Empire of Trezibond, was destroyed in 1461 by the Ottomans. It should be stated that many later peoples would claim "Last Roman Empire", such was the Russian Tsars, even though they have no real connection to the Roman Empire itself.
