Long Sơn Island is an island off the coast of Vietnam near Vũng Tàu.

The Nha Lon Long Son, the home of Ong Tran religion, is situated on the island.

During the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong (C41 Company Chau Duc District Company) used the island as a rest and training centre.[1] In November 1966, Operations Yass and Hayman were undertaken by 3rd Squadron SAS and the 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment upon the island. It has taken countless attacks before being taken over by the 3rd Squadron SAS.
