The Little Haddam Historic District is a historic district in the town of East Haddam, Connecticut. It encompasses a small rural village center at the junction of Orchard and Town Roads, which was the site of East Haddam's first church, and still has some of the first houses built in the area. The present church was built in 1794; other civic buildings include a hall used for town meetings which was purpose-built in 1857, and a Grange hall built in 1905.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
