Rikard Sigmund Long (January 23, 1889 – December 16, 1977) was a Faroese teacher, writer, and politician for the People's Party.
Long was born in Tórshavn, the son of Georg Long from Copenhagen and Svanhilda Pálsson from Vágur.[1][2] He passed his examen artium in 1907 and his examen philosophicum in 1909.[1] He enrolled at the University of Copenhagen in 1909, initially studying medicine and later switching to languages, but he never took any exams.[2] He was a teacher at the Tórshavn Nautical School (Faroese: Tórshavnar skiparaskúli) from 1914 to 1916 and from 1919 to 1920, and then taught at the Faroese Middle and High School (Faroese: Føroya Millum- og Realskúli) from 1921 to 1954.
He headed the Copenhagen Student Union from 1916 to 1918, the Tórshavn Theater Society from 1928 to 1930, the Faroese Youth Association (Faroese: Føroya Ungmannafelag) from 1932 to 1943, and the Faroese Teachers' Association from 1933 to 1942. He served as a board member of Varðin press from 1919 to 1950 and headed it from 1935 to 1950. Lang served in the Faroese Parliament as a representative from the South Streymoy (Faroese: Suðurstreymoy) district from 1943 to 1958, and he was also a member of Kristian Djurhuus's first administration (1950–1954).
Long was one of the best-known Faroese literary critics, and he was awarded the Faroese Literature Prize for fiction in 1976. He died in Tórshavn.
