Syd Little (born 1942), is an English comedian and straight man in the double act Little and Large, along with Eddie Large.

Born in Blackpool, after leaving Yew Tree Secondary Modern School, Wythenshawe and working as an interior decorator, Little started as a singer and guitarist in Manchester pubs before teaming up with Eddie Large. Their double act won "Opportunity Knocks" in 1971 and this led to a successful 20 year television career.

After the cancellation of "The Little and Large Show" in 1991, Syd Little fell into relative obscurity, appearing occasionally on shows such as "Shooting Stars", until 2005 when he took part in the reality television show "Trust Me I'm A Holiday Rep". He also appeared in "The Bob Monkhouse Show", "Wogan" and "Comedy Map of Britain".

Little appeared in the Pantomime production of Aladdin at the Grand Opera House (York) 14 December 2006 to 7 January 2007. He stayed in York during the production at Mrs Miggins' boarding house. Last Christmas, he was once again in Aladdin at The Southport Theatre, appearing with Lisa Riley from 8th December - 6th January 2008.

Little is a Christian.
