Littleport is an unincorporated community and former city in Clayton County, Iowa, United States.

After the Volga River flood of May 16, 1999, much of the town was destroyed and most residents moved away.

[3] The town was laid out in 1857 by Dennis Quigley and platted on May 21, 1860, but remained of little importance until the coming of the railroad in 1874.

Around this time, it had three general stores, a bank, blacksmith shop, Catholic church (built in 1909; torn down in 1990),[5] German Lutheran church (damaged by the May 1999 Volga River flood and later moved to higher ground),[6] an independent school district and a creamery.

There were no families and 15.8% of the population living below the poverty line, including no under eighteens and 20.0% of those over 64.
