This article needs attention from an expert in Chinese history.

Longwu (18 August 1645 – 4 February 1647) was the era name of the Longwu Emperor of the Southern Ming. It was used for 2 years. On 24 December 1646 (Longwu 2, 18th day of the 11th month), after the Yongli Emperor ascended to the throne, he continued to use this era name, and the following year, the era was changed to Yongli.

From 11 October (14th day of the 9th month) to 21 October (24th day of the 9th month) 1647, Zhang Huashan (張華山), a rebel leader in Huai'an, used this era name to start his uprising.

From 2 March (9th day of the 2nd month) 1648 to 1 March (19th day of the 1st month) 1649, Jin Shenghuan (金聲桓), commander (總兵, zong bing) of Jiangxi, used this era name to start his uprising.
