Robert Little (1762 – October 5, 1827) was a Unitarian minister.[1] He was born in England in 1762.[2] He immigrated to the United States in 1819[3] because of poor health and religious restrictions in England against all churches except the Church of England.[1] He was the first pastor of First Unitarian Church in Washington, D.C., and was instrumental in its formation in 1821. He served in that position until 1827 when he died unexpectedly.[4]
