Little Creatures is a microbrewery in Fremantle, Western Australia established in 2000 by the original brewers of the Matilda Bay Brewing Company. The brewery is open to the public and contains a café/restaurant. The name "Little Creatures" is inspired by a Talking Heads song lyric and refers to the live yeast cells which turn the sugars in malt wort into alcohol.
The original Little Creatures ale was a pale ale brewed with Cascade (floral) and Chinook (bitter) whole hop flowers, self-propagated yeast with a secondary bottle fermentation, and Australian malts. They also bottle an amber ale and a pilsener.
The brewery has won a number of Australian International Beer Awards. It has been named Champion International Brewery (2002), Champion Australasian Brewery (2002) and the Pale Ale has been named Champion Ale (2002) and Champion Bottled Ale (2001).

The building containing the brewery was previously used as a crocodile farm.
