Little Onn is a hamlet in Staffordshire, England located in open countryside 1 mile north of Wheaton Aston.

It is the location of the former Second World War airfield RAF Wheaton Aston, a training school - one of the busiest in the country - that operated between 1941 and 1947. Since being abandoned the airfield has become a pig farm but many of the original buildings remain.
