Littleport is a large village and civil parish in East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set on the edge of the fertile Fenland beside the River Great Ouse. It has a compact high street, a railway station on the Fen Line and reasonable road links, making it both an agricultural centre and a dormitory community for Ely, Cambridge and King's Lynn.
The village’s history is rooted in drainage, peat working and market gardening, and it is also remembered for the post‑Napoleonic unrest of the Ely and Littleport riots of 1816. Today local life revolves around community clubs, annual events and sports teams, giving the place a strong communal identity alongside modest local industry and services.
