Ronald Long (January 30, 1911 – October 23, 1986), was a British actor who appeared principally in American television shows of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. He was born in London and performed at the Old Vic Theatre there before coming to America in the late 1940s.

His longest-running role was as the character "Evans Baker" on the CBS daytime soap opera Love of Life from 1951 to 1957. He had roles in various Broadway shows, including the Police Inspector in the drama, "A Pin to See the Peep Show" (1953), and Dr. Blimber in the comedy "Nature's Way" (1957). His film debut was in Two Loves (1961).

While his name may not be well-known, he made many memorable appearances in character roles in 1960s sitcoms, including Get Smart, Hogan's Heroes, I Dream of Jeannie, and Green Acres. He had several roles on Bewitched, including Henry VIII. He also played the loud and blustery Captain Bligh/Charles Laughton-like "Admiral Zahrk" who constantly bellowed about "Mister Kidno" and his missing goat cheese in the Lost in Space episode "Mutiny in Space." Other TV appearances include parts on Perry Mason, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Batman, The Time Tunnel, and Columbo.

He died at the age of 75 in Burbank, California.
