The Longarm books are a series of western novels featuring the character of Custis Long, who is nicknamed Longarm, a U.S. Deputy Marshal based in Denver, Colorado in the 1880s. The series is written by "Tabor Evans", a house pseudonym used by a number of authors. Lou Cameron helped create the character and wrote a number of the early books in the series. The first book was published in 1978 and new ones are still being added at a rate of approximately one a month, totalling over 300 books in the series.

The Longarm series is a mainstay of the "adult western" genre which arose in the 1970s. These books are distinguished from classical westerns by the inclusion of more explicit sex and violence.
