Lucien James "Luc" Longley (born 19 January 1969) is an Australian retired professional basketball player. He was the first Australian to play in the NBA, where he played for 10 seasons.

Longley, playing under the coaching of Phil Jackson and alongside such players as Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoč, Ron Harper, Dennis Rodman and Steve Kerr, stands 7'2" (218 cm) tall and was the starting centre during the Chicago Bulls' second "three-peat" championship seasons from 1996–1998, including the Bulls' 1995–96 season, in which they set what was at the time an NBA record by going 72–10 during the regular season.

Longley represented Australia at the 1988, 1992 and 2000 Summer Olympics.
