Little Turkey (c. 1758–1801) was First Beloved Man of the Cherokee people.
Little Turkey, born in about 1758, was elected First Beloved Man by the general council of the Cherokee upon their re-establishment of the council's seat at Ustanali on the Conasauga River.
The United States recognized his rival, Hanging Maw of Coyatee, as the Cherokees' leading headman.
Following the end of the Cherokee–American wars (1794) and the subsequent organization that year of a national government, Little Turkey's title became Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation.
