Little Springs is an unincorporated community in Franklin County, Mississippi.[1]

The Homochitto National Forest is located a short distance west of the community along Little Springs Road.

The community was named for the large number of springs located there.[2]

In 1820, the Mount Zion Baptist Church was established 3 mi (4.8 km) west of Little Springs.[3]

The first school was the Magnolia School, built in 1854. A new school, the Little Springs High School, replaced it in 1901.[4]

A post office was in operation in the early 1900s.[1]
