Littleport is the largest village in East Cambridgeshire, England, approximately north of Ely and south-east of Welney. It lies on the Bedford Level South section of the River Great Ouse, close to Burnt Fen and Mare Fen. There are two Primary schools in the village; Millfield Primary and Littleport Community school.

The Littleport riots of 1816 were a factor in Parliament passing the Vagrancy Act of 1824.
