Little Para is an electorate for the South Australian Legislative Assembly in the northern suburbs of the Adelaide metropolitan area in South Australia.
The electorate was formerly called Elizabeth after Queen Elizabeth II and was originally drawn around the City of Elizabeth (now part of the City of Playford). The 1998 and 2002 redistributions made considerable changes, moving the focus further east. It now includes the residential suburbs of Elizabeth Vale, Elizabeth Grove, Hillbank, Salisbury Park, Surrey Downs, Fairview Park, Yatala Vale and Upper Hermitage and parts of Salisbury Heights, Greenwith and Golden Grove as well as the semi-rural Gould Creek and covers an area of approximately 64 km².
Little Para is mostly working class, with some middle class suburbs on its eastern edges. All but the western end on the plains is in the foothills of the Adelaide Hills.
The district was created in 1969 as the district of Elizabeth, and renamed to Little Para in the 2003 redistribution, to be first contested under that name in 2006.
