Tong (Tunga in Scottish Gaelic) is a village on the Isle of Lewis (Eilean Leòdhais), approximately 4 miles north-east of the main town of Stornoway (Steòrnabhagh).

The village has a community centre and football pitch (home to Tong FC), a primary school and a Free Church of Scotland Mission House. It also had a shop and post office but this closed a few years ago and is now a Scottish Episcopal Church meeting house.

Every July the Lewis Highland Games are held at the community centre with heavy events such as tossing the caber, Highland dancing and other attractions taking place on the football pitch.
