Little Langford is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Steeple Langford, in Wiltshire, England. Its nearest town is Wilton, about 5 miles (8.0 km) to the southeast. It is in the Wylye valley, to the south of the river; the grass fields adjacent to the river were traditionally flood meadows. In 1931 the parish had a population of 64.[1] On 1 April 1932 the parish was abolished and merged with Steeple Langford.[2]

In 1086, the Domesday Book survey recorded estates held by Wilton Abbey, Glastonbury Abbey and Edward of Salisbury.[3]

In 1990, the Wilton estate of the Earl of Pembroke owned nearly all the land in the former parish.[3]
