Little Linford is a village in the Borough of Milton Keynes and ceremonial Buckinghamshire, England. It is about a mile west of Newport Pagnell, near the M1 motorway. Unlike its neighbour and namesake Great Linford it has yet to be joined up with Milton Keynes.

Little Linford was initially a hamlet in the manor and ecclesiastical parish of Linford. The parish church is dedicated to St Leonard.

The traditional parish name 'Linford' is an Old English language word that means 'ford where maple trees grow'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as "Linforde". The prefix 'Little' was added to distinguish it from Great Linford.

Civil parish

Little Linford is in the civil parish of Haversham-cum-Little Linford, which also includes Haversham, and had a population of 803 according to the 2001 census. This merged parish was formed in 1934.
