Little Akaloa is a small settlement and bay on Banks Peninsula, in the South Island of New Zealand.

The settlement is sited at the end of the bay, a long, finger-shaped indentation in the northeastern coast of the peninsula, some 35 kilometres (22 mi) southeast of Christchurch and 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of the near-namesake town of Akaroa. A small 6-kilometre (3.7 mi) long stream enters the bay at the settlement.^[2]

The names of both Akaroa and Little Akaloa mean long harbour in the southern dialect of Māori.^{[citation needed]}
