Tandy Duncan Little, Jr. (born July 22, 1921), is a Republican former member of the Alabama House of Representatives, who represented from 1962 to 1966 the capital city of Montgomery, Alabama.
Reared in Montgomery, Little was a lieutenant in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. He is a former real estate developer in Montgomery. He was among the founding members of the Dixie Sailing Club on Lake Martin, a reservoir formed by the construction of Martin Dam on the Tallapoosa River near Montgomery.
In 1962, Little was one of three Republicans elected to the Alabama House, when fellow Republican businessman James D. Martin of Gadsden nearly upset the veteran Democratic U.S. Senator J. Lister Hill of Montgomery. In that same election, the Republicans did not offer an opponent to George C. Wallace, the Democrat who for a time became synonymous with the desire to preserve segregation in the American South. The two other Republicans elected with Little to single terms in the House were Donald Lamar Collins (1929–1993) of Jefferson County and John Andrew Posey, Jr. (1923–1972) of Winston County in northern Alabama. Two years later, Little and his wife, the former Ruth Blair (1921–2013), a Montgomery native and a graduate of Auburn University, were delegates to the 1964 Republican National Convention, which met in San Francisco to nominate the Goldwater–Miller ticket, the first Republican slate to win the electoral votes of Alabama since Reconstruction.
