Actually, its pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis at 45 letters. Its a rare lung disease caused by a fine silico dust found in some volcanoes.

See this from Wikipedia:
However, the more serious problem is that the word was originally intended as a hoax: In Word Ways: The Journal of Recreational Linguistics, in several separate articles (May 1985, pp. 95-96; November 1986, pp. 205-206; May 1987, p. 82; November 1989, p. 205 ^[1]), researchers discovered that the word was invented in 1935 by Everett M. Smith, president of the National Puzzlers' League, at their annual meeting. The word occurred in a newspaper headline about the meeting, after which it was picked up by an author of puzzle books. Members of the National Puzzlers' League then campaigned to have it included in major dictionaries, eventually succeeding with the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster's Second. Research into medical literature prior to 1935 has failed to find the word in the dictionary. It has since been used, albeit sparingly

The longest word is "smiles" because there is a mile between the S's.

Seriously, what's a word? What's your metric? And what's "the English dictionary"?

are u people completely stupid? i mean i hate to be rude but all those words from diseases are NOT in the english dictionary... they are in dictionaries of medical terms and if u knew anything about english u'd know that. anyways so i agree with another persons antidishimbel.... whatever that word was but i thought the longest word in the ENGLISH dictionary was (i will try to spell it the way it is pronounced but i know the actual word is much much longer) ON-O-MONO-PIA anyways... there's my 2 cents
