A Moment Like the Longest Day is the fourth studio album by the Serbian Irish folk/Celtic rock band Orthodox Celts released in 2002.
Produced by Block Out leader Nikola Vranjković and featuring only one cover of a traditional Irish song, "Humors of Scariff",[4] A Moment Like the Longest Day is more rock-oriented than the band's previous releases.[2]
In 2021, the album was polled 91st on the list of 100 Best Serbian Albums Since the Breakup of SFR Yugoslavia. The list was published in the book Kako (ni)je propao rokenrol u Srbiji (How Rock 'n' Roll in Serbia (Didn't) Came to an End).[5]
