Little People of America (LPA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which provides support, resources, and information to individuals with dwarfism and their families.

LPA was founded in 1957 by actor Billy Barty[3][4] when he informally called upon people of short stature to join him in a get-together in Reno, Nevada.

They publish a quarterly publication national newsletter titled LPA Today.

[10] Members of the LPA filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission over the use of the word "midget" on broadcast television.
