Langeneß (Danish: Langenæs, Northern Frisian: Nees) is a municipality in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It consists of the halligen (islands) Langeneß and Oland. Before the flood of 1634 the two islands were directly attached.

There is a junior school and an information centre providing information about the national park and the Wadden-Sea at Peterswarf. A railway connects Langeneß to the mainland at Dagebüll via Oland.
