Rose McConnell Long (April 8, 1892 – May 27, 1970) was a United States Senator and the wife of Huey Long. She was Louisiana's first female senator.

Long was born in Greenburg, in Decatur County, Indiana. She met Huey Long through a cake baking contest, which she won. Rose and Huey were married in 1913. After Huey's death in 1935, Rose was appointed to serve in the United States Senate. Rose won a special election on April 21, 1936 to serve out the rest of Huey's term but she declined to run for re-election for another six year term in November 1936.

She was the mother of Senator Russell B. Long.
