Longwick is a hamlet located on the edge of the Aylesbury Vale about a mile north west of the town of Princes Risborough, in Buckinghamshire, England and on the road to Thame.

The hamlet name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'long farm'.

With Ilmer, Owlswick, Meadle and Horsenden, it forms the civil parish of Longwick-cum-Ilmer which was created in 1934. In 1951 its population was 786, since when it has seen a significant increase to over 1200 in 2001.
