Longney is a village in the civil parish of Longney and Epney, in the Stroud district, in Gloucestershire, England, on the River Severn 5 miles south-west of Gloucester. The parish is long and narrow and the main trades are agricultural, with several farms throughout. Longney is the Saxon name meaning a long island.

Two roads run through the village. The first, Longney Road, leads to Elmore and Hardwicke, the other to Epney. Many houses were built in conjunction with the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, brick construction provided by local brick works. Thatching for houses was from the reed beds at Frampton-on-Severn.
