Little Haywood is a small riverside village in the borough of Stafford, Staffordshire, England, sitting close to its larger neighbour Great Haywood and the historic Shugborough estate. The village is notable for its setting by the meeting of the River Trent and the River Sow, with the nearby Trent and Mersey Canal and towpaths making it a popular spot for walkers and boaters and giving the area a strong canalside character dating from the industrial era.

Today Little Haywood keeps a largely rural, residential feel with period cottages and a small cluster of local amenities, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Stafford or Rugeley. Its history and landscape are closely tied to the waterways and the adjacent country estate, so it attracts both day visitors to picnic and walk and longer‑term residents seeking a quiet village base with good access to the Midlands.
