Lawrence Dentico (born August 22, 1923), aka Larry Fab and The Little Guy, is a New Jersey mobster who is a former captain and consigliere for the Genovese crime family.

During the late 1990s, Dentico served as an acting boss of the family while family boss Vincent "the Chin" Gigante was serving a prison sentence for racketeering. In August 2005, Dentico was indicted on charges of extortion conspiracy and conspiracy to commit murder. The defendants were accused of participating in loansharking, sports bookmaking, numbers running, and football-ticket gambling. Dentico pleaded guilty and on August 16, 2006, he was sentenced to 51 months in prison. As of April 2008, Dentico is still serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) - Schuylkill in Minersville, Pennsylvania. His projected release date is May 5, 2009.
