Long Datih is a Christian Kelabit longhouse settlement in the mountainous interior of Sarawak, Malaysia.[1] It lies approximately 576.1 kilometres (358 mi) east-north-east of the state capital Kuching.

The village converted to Christianity in the 1940s; a visitor in 1960 described how, as well as Sunday services in the village chapel, prayers were held in each longhouse at the start of each day.[2]
