Little Nicobar (Nicobarese: Ong) is one of the Nicobar Islands, India.

According to the 2011 census of India, Little Nicobar Island had 278 villagers in 59 households. The effective literacy rate (the literacy rate of population excluding children aged 6 and below) was 100%. Pulopanja, Pulobaha, Pulloullo, and Makhahu (Victoria Harbour) are the main villages on the island.
