Samuel Long (1638–1683), planter and politician in the West Indies, was born in Wiltshire, the second son of Timothy Long (1610–1691) and his wife, Jane, the only daughter of Oliver Brunsell, the vicar of Wroughton. Nothing of his early life is known, except that on 20 October 1661 he married Elizabeth Streete.

He was the speaker of the House of Assembly of Jamaica for 1671 and 1673.[1]
