Bethany A. Hall-Long (born November 12, 1963) is an American politician who has served as the 26th lieutenant governor of Delaware since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Hall-Long previously served in the Delaware Senate from 2008 to 2016 and in the Delaware House of Representatives from 2002 to 2008.[1]

In April 2024, she announced her candidacy for governor of Delaware in 2024 but was defeated in the Democratic primary by Matt Meyer. She is expected to assume the governorship when John Carney resigns to become mayor of Wilmington and complete the remaining two weeks of Carney's term.[2]
