Walter H. Long (* 5. März 1879 in Nashua, New Hampshire; † 4. Juli 1952 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler.

Long begann seiner Filmkarriere bei der New Yorker Filmgesellschaft Biograph, wo er 1910 in David Wark Griffiths The Fugitive seinen ersten Filmauftritt hatte. Bis Mitte der 1910er Jahre spielte dort in Nebenrollen; die bekannteste ist die des schwarzen Vergewaltigers Gus in The Birth of a Nation (1915).

In den 1920er und 1930er Jahren spielte Long unter anderem Rollen als Gangsterboss und als rauer Schiffskapitän.
