Little Feat is the debut studio album by American rock band Little Feat, released in 1971 by Warner Bros. Records.

The album was recorded mostly in sessions between August and September 1970. Its sound is in a similar vein as the band's more widely known later recordings, such as 1973's Dixie Chicken. The record features Little Feat's initial line-up, with Roy Estrada on bass. It was the first of eight albums by the band before its first break up in 1979. The cover shows the mural Venice in the Snow, painted by the L. A. Fine Arts Squad in 1970, in Venice, Los Angeles.

The album was a commercial flop, selling very poorly. However, critical reception was very positive. In 2007, the album was released as a gold CD through the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
