If one wants to be 'technical' the word would be "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis." (if referring to officially recognized/printed in English dictionaries words). 
 
For a 'non-technical' word- 'Floccinaucinihilipilification' would be it (has one letter more than 'antidisestablishmentarianism' 
 
​If the longest word 'PERIOD', that supposedly goes to the chemical name for 'titin' (has reportedly 189,819 letters and takes over 3hrs. to pronounce!! Yikes!!)
 
I think that counts for my 'learning something new everyday'!  :P
