Little Weighton is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately {{Convert|5|mi|km|0}} south-west from Beverley town centre and {{Convert|2|mi|km|0}} west from Skidby.

Little Weighton forms part of the civil parish of Rowley.

The village contains a small shop (which acts as a post office), a school, a church, village hall, playing fields, a garage and the Black Horse public house. The No. 63 bus connects Little Weighton to villages in the local area as well as Beverley and Hull

In 1823 Little Weighton was in the civil parish of Rowley and the Wapentake of Harthill. Occupations at the time included six farmers and yeomen, a shoemaker, a blacksmith, a tailor, a shopkeeper, and the landlord of The Black Horse public house. A carrier operated between the village and Beverley and Hull once a week.[1]

Little Weighton was served by Little Weighton railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway between 1885 and 1955.[2]

Notable residents include one time David Bowie bassist Trevor Bolder, and ex-Hull City players Stan McEwan and Sam Ricketts.{{cn|date=December 2014}}
