Littleworth is a hamlet in Burnham civil parish, in the South Bucks district of Buckinghamshire, England.

There are some cottages and houses around Littleworth Common, a Site of Special Scientific Interest that covers 200 acres (81 ha).[1] There are two pubs (The Blackwood Arms and the Jolly Woodman) and Dropmore Infant School. To the west are the fenced off grounds of Dropmore House which was built in about 1792 for William Wyndham and a gatehouse to it called Oak Lodge.
