Small World is the fifth album by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News, released in 1988 (see 1988 in music).

Although it reached the top 20 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the album was much less successful than its predecessors, 1983's Sports and 1986's Fore!. However, Lewis himself stated in a Behind the Music interview that Small World was his favorite album he ever worked on.^{[citation needed]}
