The Little Phatty is a monophonic synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music since 2006. It is the latest synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music. Its design was conceived, in part, by Robert Moog himself.

It is one of the few Moog synthesizers to utilize MIDI from the factory. The others being the Minimoog Voyager and the earlier Memorymoog+. This allows for better integration in the modern studio and for live performance.

There are two versions of the Little Phatty. Aside from a few cosmetic differences (and price), both units are identical. The earlier 'Tribute Edition' featured blue LED lighting, wooden side panels and Bob Moog's signature decaled onto the convex back panel. The later 'Stage Edition' featured orange and red lighting, grey rubberised panels and the classic Moog logo in replacement of the signature.

The Little Phatty Tribute Edition was a limited run of 1200 units.
