Little Gransden is a village in the district of South Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire in England.

It is home to two airfields:
* Little Gransden Airfield, located at Fuller's Hill Farm, which holds an air and car show every summer.
* Gransden Lodge, located on the Cambridgeshire / Bedfordshire border, a former Royal Air Force station which saw active service in the Second World War, but is now a gliding site, its three former paved runways having been removed.
