Long Ridge is a rural wooded neighborhood on the outskirts of Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Perhaps the most notable feature of the area is the Long Ridge Library. The former one-room schoolhouse, which once served the students in the district, was given by the town of Danbury in 1922.[3] Also significant to the area is the Long Ridge United Methodist Church, built in 1840.[4]
