Little Longstone is a small village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, set in the limestone "White Peak" of the Peak District. It sits close to the wooded cliffs and limestone gorges of Monsal Dale and the valley of the River Wye, and is overlooked by the more sizeable settlement of Great Longstone, giving it a quietly picturesque, rural character of dry-stone walls, fields and caves.
Historically centred on farming with a local legacy of lead-mining in the wider area, the village now mixes a small resident community with a steady flow of walkers and cyclists using the nearby Monsal Trail. Stone cottages, farm buildings and conservation-minded local groups reflect its long-standing rural culture, while tourism and agriculture remain the mainstays of the local economy.
