Little River is a rural locality in the Snowy Valleys Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia.

It lies is 6 km east of Tumut, in the southern side of the valley of the Goobarragandra River, just to the east of the confluence of that river with the Tumut River.

[5] It lies close to the boundaries of the traditional lands of Wiradjuri, Ngarigo-speaking Walgalu and the Ngunnawal peoples.

[6] A part of the localities now known as Little River and Lacmalac was one of the sites proposed for Australia's national capital city.

If the proposal for a new city at Little River had come to fruition, the Tumut railway line would have been extended to the area and a dam built on Goobarragandra River to provide a water supply.
