Long Mountain is a hill in the north-west of County Antrim, found to the south-east of Ballymoney. It reaches just 705 feet at its summit.
The hill may be considered an outlier of the Antrim Hills, though is clearly separated from that group, and is just the highest part of a long ridge of upland in the west of the county between the valleys of the little, southward-flowing River Main to the east and the broad River Bann flowing northward to the west. Long Mountain, if distinguishable in this ridge, is on the northern end of the ridge.
Though long, the hill cannot with any degree of seriousness be described as a mountain. It is easily accessed from Dunloy on Long Mountain's north-eastern flank.
