Jonathan Little (born December 22, 1984 in Pensacola, Florida) is an American professional poker player. Little is best known for winning the World Poker Tour's Season 6 Mirage Poker Showdown and being the season 6 WPT Player of the Year.

Little was a student at the University of West Florida studying psychology when he began playing poker with friends. As his interest in poker grew, it led him to study many books on poker, such as The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky.[1] After earning an initial bankroll of $35,000 online over a six month period, he decided to drop out of college and play poker professionally.[1]
