Little Norway was a Norwegian Army Air Service/Royal Norwegian Air Force training camp in Canada during World War II. The camp was opened in November 1940, located in the bay area of Toronto, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Its first commander was Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen. Major Ole Reistad took over around New Year 1941.

In may 1942 the training camp was moved to Muskoka, about 70 miles north of Toronto. Here the training continued until February 1945, when the camp was moved to the air base Winkleigh in Devon, England.

In total during the war, over 2500 Norwegian airmen of all categories (pilots, navigators, mechanics) were educated in the camp.
