Little Harrowden is a village and civil parish in Northamptonshire nearly three miles north-west of Wellingborough, off the A509 road. At the time of the 2011 census, the parish's population was 892 people.

The parish has a population of between 800-900 and this is spread across various occupations from industrial in the east to farming in the west.
