Little Walden is a village in the civil parish of Saffron Walden, in the Uttlesford district, in the county of Essex, England. It lies about 3 miles (5 km) north of the market town of Saffron Walden and is 12 miles (19 km) from Cambridge.

The church, St.John's [1] is a "remnant of Victorian concern for the spiritual welfare of the very poor labourers who lived here then".[2] The Crown Inn public house[3] is situated on a bend in the B1052 road which runs through the village.[4] Chesterford Research Park[5] is 0.84 miles (1.35 km) to the north west.
