Little Holm is a small island in Yell Sound, in Shetland, Scotland. It lies between Northmavine and the island of Yell.

There is a lighthouse here.

In 1983, the Royal Navy cleared ordnance from the area, and their bomb disposal team discovered an unrecorded shipwreck nearby. Its identity is still unknown.^[2]^[3]
