The Little River is a perennial stream of the Port Phillip & Westernport catchment, located in the Greater Metropolitan Melbourne region of the Australian state of Victoria.

The Little River rises in the Brisbane Ranges, near Staughton Vale and flows generally east, joined by three minor tributaries, before reaching its mouth at Port Phillip, north of Beacon Point near the boundary between the City of Greater Geelong and the City of Wyndham. The river descends 176 metres (577 ft) over its 49 kilometres (30 mi) course.

The traditional Aboriginal name of the river is Diabagnorite or Worrin-yaloke.
