Victor Albert Long (May 24, 1866 – December 18, 1938) was a Canadian artist specializing in portraits of politicians and community leaders.

Long was living apart from his wife for a few months prior to his dying from carbon monoxide poisoning on December 18, 1938.

Based in Winnipeg for the first two decades of his career, his conservative, true-to-life style appealed to the institutions whose members he painted, the city halls, legislatures, court houses and universities.

In a notice of some oils to be auctioned in Victoria, his qualifications were described, “During the last ten years he has painted most of the portraits required on public occasions for the public bodies of Eastern Canada and has perhaps executed more commissions of that nature than any other Canadian artist.”[12] He made several journeys back and forth across the Prairies, gaining commissions and delivering paintings.

This would be his modus operandi even after making a permanent move to Vancouver in 1909, where he opened a studio in the Court House Block at 812 Robson Street.

For ten days in November 1933, the Vancouver Art Gallery mounted an exhibition of Long's work.

Also included were Col. George Henry Ham (1926), Father Albert Lacombe (c 1926), Lily Alice Lefevre, William Curtis Shelly and a dozen landscapes and genre paintings.

In the collection of the Musée de Saint-Boniface are portraits of twenty mayors painted between 1902 and 1922, as well as King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.

[20] In the Alberta Legislature Building are found ten portraits made between 1911 and 1916: John Felton Betts, William Eakin, Charles W. Fisher, Archibald Beaton Gillis, Frederick W.A.G.
