"This Little Girl of Mine" is a proto-soul single written and released as a single by Ray Charles in 1956 on the Atlantic label.

Much like the previous "I Got a Woman" and the later "Hallelujah I Love Her So", "This Little Girl of Mine" played off a classic gospel-based hymn. And much like those songs, replaced sacred lyrics with secular blues lyrics with doo-wop call and response harmonies.

The song was the b-side to Charles' number-one R&B single, "A Fool for You", and was a charted hit on its own peaking at number nine on the chart.
