Mark Little (born 20 October 1959, Brisbane, Queensland) is an Australian actor, television presenter and comedian.
Little appeared in a string of Australian films and TV series during the 1980s. He also performed his own comedy/performance in Melbourne's burgeoning comedy clubs throughout the eighties. His longest-running television role was as Joe Mangel in the soap opera Neighbours. He played the role for three years until 1991. The role gave his profile a big boost in the United Kingdom where Neighbours was being watched by ten million people every day at the time. He consequently has spent much of his career in the UK, living for much of the time near the seafront in Brighton and later north London.
He has taken many self-devised shows to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and toured them nationally throughout the UK. In 1994 he replaced Chris Evans as the presenter of The Big Breakfast. He has also narrated cult TV series The Villa on Sky TV.
He has worked on films such as Blackball and in the West End with his one man show Defending the Caveman, which also won the Laurence Olivier Award in 2000. He returned to Neighbours as Joe for a brief period in 2005.
Little appeared as Roy in a production of Louis Nowra's play Così at The White Bear Theatre Club in Kennington, London, opening 29 July 2008.
Since 2009 Little has appeared regularly on the discussion show, The Wright Stuff.
As well as extended runs of Defending the Caveman at London's Leicester Square Theatre, he has extensively toured the play around the UK.
