While some whales and perhaps large sharks have plenty of space in the mouth to contain an entire adult human, the only case I have heard reported involves the Whale Shark. I believe a fisherman was found whole and alive inside a large Whale Shark somewhere off the coast of South America. I apologize for not having the reference on hand... The Whale Shark feeds primarily on plankton and does not have large, sharp teeth. The poor guy probably just fell into the water in front of the creature while it was scooping/foraging or whatever they call it... If by "swallow" you mean actually passed into the stomach or intestines whole... I am not sure this is possible. If it is possible, my best guess would be a record-sized great white or the probably extinct megalodon.

Hmmm well im gonna say a Sperm whale would have a good chnce though it might be a tight fit but they swallow Giant Squid whole and sharks too so i dont see why they couldnt swallow a Human. Great Whites are famous maneaters they normally taste us before trying to devour us so i dont know about being swallowed by one but i once read a traumatized Scuba diver or maybe it was two were rescued from the stomach of one of these Sharks ill do some research later ^^. The Whale shark wouldnt be able to actually swallow a human and get them down their stomach as said by thorn like 4 years ago they eat plankton but u never know?. All i can think of right now.
