"Small World" is the fifth album by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News, released in 1988 (see 1988 in music).

Compared to the last two albums Lewis recorded, this one was a commercial failure. However, Lewis himself stated in a Behind the Music interview that it was his favorite album he ever worked on.
