Little Oakley is a village in Northamptonshire, between Corby and Kettering.

The parish church, St Peter's, dates from the thirteenth century.

Opposite the church is Primrose Cottage, a stone-built cottage dating back to the seventeenth century, where several generations of one family once lived and are now buried in the church yard.

The village's name means 'Oak-tree wood/clearing'.[1]
