When wanting to achieve the narrowest possible depth of field, there are several factors. Three of which are focal length, aperture, and minimum focusing distance.
What follows is a current listing of mostly RF L-series lenses (with two EF L-series lenses sprinkled in which I own):
Key: MFD (Minimum Focus Distance), DOF (Depth of Field).

Some of Canon’s zooms do have the same MFD at all focal lengths. Others do vary. When building the list, I always took the maximum focal length and the documented MFD at that value.
One lens I didn’t mention was the RF 100mm f/2.8 Macro. I wanted to omit macro lenses as they would have a whole different level of DOF. This lens would be 0.07 cm.

Great set of information, I use a TS-E 90mm f/2.8 lens when I want to be exceptionally selective with depth of field, maybe not the amount but the placement of it due to tilt.
