"Little Woman Love" is a Wings song released as a B-side to the single "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on May 12, 1972. It was composed by Paul McCartney in 1972, although, in keeping with McCartney's practice at the time, the composition was officially credited to Paul and Linda McCartney.

While "Little Woman Love's" A-side was being virulently attacked by the critics, it climbed to the Top 10 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, however, radio stations preferred to play "Little Woman Love" more frequently. As a result, the picture sleeve for "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was revised by Apple Records to have a separate listing for the flip side, as shown. However, the single only reached #28 in the U.S.

"Little Woman Love" was never released on an album until 1993, when it was included as a bonus track to Wild Life in The Paul McCartney Collection.
