The adductor longus muscle is a hip abductor muscle located in the inner thigh. This muscle controls the thigh bone's ability to move inward and from side to side.The muscle originates in the superior aspect of the pubis, below the pubic tubercle. It inserts at the middle third of the linea aspera of the femur along the medial lip. It adducts and flexes the thigh at the hip. It also contributes to lateral and medial rotation of the thigh. All adductor muscles in the thighs pull the legs toward the middle when walking,

The blood supply for this muscle originates from branches of the femoral and obturator arteries.
