Sir Lislebone Long (1613–1659) was an English landowner and politician who was briefly Speaker of the House of Commons.

Long was a supporter of the Parliamentary cause during the Civil War, and a Presbyterian. He resisted Pride's Purge and although not secluded by Pride, he shortly afterwards absented himself for a short while from the House. After the regicide of Charles I, in which he took no part, he was an active member of the three Protectorate parliaments and was knighted by the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell.
