Little Games is an album by British blues rock band The Yardbirds, released in 1967 (see 1967 in music). Successful singles producer Mickie Most was called in to assist The Yardbirds on what was to be their final album before the group disbanded in 1968. Jimmy Page used his guitar-bowing technique on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor" and "Glimpses".

The album peaked at #80 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart.
