Suppose $G$ is a connected simple graph with the vertex set $V( G ) = \{ v_1,v_2,\cdots ,v_n \} $. Let $d_G( v_i,v_j ) $ be the least distance between $v_i$ and $v_j$ in $G$. Then the distance matrix of $G$ is $D( G ) =( d_{ij} ) _{n\times n}$, where $d_{ij}=d_G( v_i,v_j ) $. Since $D( G )$ is a non-negative real symmetric matrix, its eigenvalues can be arranged as $λ_1(G)\ge λ_2(G)\ge \cdots \ge λ_n(G)$, where eigenvalue $λ_n(G)$ is called the least distance eigenvalue of $G$. In this paper we determine the unique graph whose least distance eigenvalue attains maximum among all complements of graphs of diameter greater than three.
