Amelia Hannah Long, Lady Farnborough (1772-1837) was a British watercolour painter who specialized in landscapes and botanical subjects. She was born in Wormley and studied with Thomas Girtin and Henry Edridge. She was an honorary exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1807 to 1822 and at the British Institution in 1825. Her works are held by the National Galleries of Scotland, Dundee Art Gallery, the British Museum, and Bromley Historic Collections. She was known in her day as a judge of art and a skilled horticulturist, and she largely assisted or was solely the designer in laying out the gardens at Bromley Hill Place, Kent. She died at Bromley Hill on 15 January 1837 and was buried at Wormley, Hertfordshire, with an elaborate tomb by Richard Westmacott.
