The longest nerve cell in most mammals isthe sensory neuron that convey signals from the part of the body furthest from the head to the medulla.
Among mammals that live on land, the giraffe would have the distinction of having the longest at about 15 feet. But remember that whales are mammals, and while little is known about detailed whale anatomy it is likely that the sensory nerve that transmits sensation from the tail fin of the blue whale to the medulla would be tens of meters long, though it might be difficult to verify this by tracing the pathway of something so small for so far.
