Long Tebangan is a longhouse settlement in the interior of the Marudi division of Sarawak, Malaysia,[1][2] on the upper Baram River. It lies approximately 541.7 kilometres (337 mi) east-north-east of the state capital Kuching.

The Malaysian government announced on 27 January 2007 that Long Tebangan was Kampung Gerakan Daya Wawasan (The Vision Village).[3] However, if the Baram Dam hydroelectric project goes ahead, Long Tebangan will be one of the villages affected by the flooding of 389,000 hectares of jungle.[4]
