Longing Gap is a notch at the Nordenskjöld Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located on the 3 km wide isthmus of the Longing Peninsula and represents a passage from Griffiths Bay in the northeast to a side bay of Larsen Inlet in the southwest.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1964 based on the naming of the peninsula and the cape of the same name.
