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

Although it reached the top 20 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the album was much less successful than its predecessors, Sports and Fore!. However, Lewis himself stated in a Behind the Music interview that the recording process for Small World had the most favorable working conditions.[citation needed]
