Little Meadle is a hamlet in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located between the hamlets of Owlswick and Meadle (from which it gets its name). It is approximately 5 miles from Aylesbury and 20 miles from Oxford. It consists of a small collection of houses and gained an offical name in 2004.

Certain factions within the hamlet are currently embroiled in a struggle with the local council to have measures introduced in order to combat speeding along Stockwell Lane, the hamlet's main thoroughfare. This contentious issue is inextricably linked with debates over Little Meadle's status as a hamlet, rather than just an outlying part of the hamlet Meadle.

According to latest estimates, the current population of Little Meadle is 27 but the number may actually be as high as 35. The area is extremely rich in wildlife. The are large populations of sheep belonging to local farms, and ducks are also very common. Badgers and snakes are also seen from time to time.
