Andrew Little (born 12 May 1989) is a Northern Irish former footballer who played mainly as a forward.
A versatile player, he could play in any outfield position, though he preferred a more attacking role. He left Ballinamallard United for Rangers in 2006, where he turned professional the following year. He made some first-team appearances in 2009–10 but was otherwise limited to youth and reserve team football until he won a loan move to Port Vale in August 2011. He returned to Rangers and was a key player as they won the Scottish Third Division title in 2012–13 and the League One title in 2013–14. He signed with Preston North End in June 2014 and was loaned out to Blackpool in November 2015, and Accrington Stanley in March 2016. Preston released him in May 2016 and he joined Stirling Albion in February 2017, where he played until May 2018. He signed with Dumbarton in July 2018 but retired in November 2018 following persistent injury problems.
Having represented Northern Ireland at under-19 and under-21 levels, as well as making one appearance for the "B" team, he won his first senior cap in March 2009 and appeared nine times in total.
