Richard Long (b. c. 1955- ) is a former New Zealand broadcaster, first with the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC), and then with Television New Zealand (TVNZ). He co-hosted the 6pm Network News bulletins on TV One from 1987 until early 1999 and then from late 1999 until the end of 2003, with co-anchor Judy Bailey.

For a short period in 1999, Richard presented weekend bulletins alongside Liz Gunn, with Judy Bailey and John Hawkesby fronting weekday bulletins.

He left TVNZ in 2004 to pursue a freelance career, after cutbacks at the network that saw the nightly bulletin reduced from two presenters to one.

In recent years, Long has provided voice-overs in advertisements for Hanover Finance.

He is not to be confused with another New Zealand-based Richard Long (b. c. 1940- ), who was a long-time editor-in-chief of The Dominion newspaper before it merged with the Evening Post, and periodically continues to write columns for the Dominion Post.
