Little Oberon, directed by Kevin Carlin, is a 2005 Australian telemovie starring Sigrid Thornton.

The movie was filmed during 2004 in and around the town of Marysville, Victoria, Australia. (Marysville was later destroyed in the bushfires of Black Saturday, 7 February 2009). Brittany Byrnes, Tasma Walton and Peter Rowsthorn also starred.

The film is about Georgie Green (Walton) and her daughter Natasha (Byrnes, nominated for an AFI award) going to visit Georgie's mother (Thornton) who is dying of cancer. Sigrid Thornton shaved her head for the role; she said wearing a bald cap would be disrespectful to cancer patients. Natasha tries to find out the identity of her father and begins to have visions of a young friend of her mother who disappeared 16 years before. With Georgie being a witch (Wicca) and family tensions being rampant, there are several settling-in problems when they decide to stay for a while.
