Little Dorrit (Danish: Lille Dorrit) is a 1924 Danish silent historical drama film directed by A.W. Sandberg and starring Frederik Jensen, Karina Bell and Karen Winther. It is based on the 1857 Charles Dickens' novel of the same name.

The film was made as part of an attempt to re-establish Danish cinema in the English-speaking world. While successful in Scandinavia, the film failed to do well in Britain and America.

The film's art direction was by Carlo Jacobsen.
