Irene Maud Longman (née Bayley; 24 April 1877 – 29 July 1964) was an Australian community worker and politician.

Longman was born in Franklin, Tasmania, to a Christian minister; her brothers Percy and James were also members of parliament.

[1] Longman was "interested in a wide range of social issues, including town planning and the preservation of native plants, but her work was principally in the field of the welfare of women and especially children".

[1] She "enjoyed her positions of leadership and focused her contribution on addressing meetings and attending functions rather than the more mundane task of fund-raising".

[1] She also held office in the Lyceum Club, the Queensland Women's Peace Movement, and the Association for the Welfare of Mental Deficients.

Longman was a pioneer of special education in Queensland, in 1922 leading a deputation to the Department of Public Instruction which brought about the introduction of "opportunity classes" for children with intellectual disabilities.

Representing the Country and Progressive National Party, she was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in the electorate of Bulimba, a safe ALP seat, which she held for one term.
