Littleport is an electoral ward in East Cambridgeshire, within the county of Cambridgeshire in England, set in the low-lying landscape of the Fens on the banks of the River Great Ouse. It sits a few miles north‑east of Ely and close to the Norfolk border, with a local railway station on the Fen Line providing links to Cambridge and King’s Lynn, making it a mix of traditional agricultural community and commuter settlement.
Historically the area has strong farming roots and was touched by the unrest of the early 19th century in the Ely and Littleport disturbances, while the village centre retains an older parish church and a compact high street of independent shops and services. The surrounding fenland is important for wildlife and birdwatching, and the ward has an active community calendar with local clubs, carnivals and volunteer groups that reflect its rural, close‑knit character.
