The Little Blue River is a 245-mile-long (394 km)[1]^{[failed verification]} river in southern Nebraska and northern Kansas that was used by Pony Express horseback riders. Ridgelines of this historic watershed defined the wagon train routes first used by Oregon Trail emigrants.

The Little Blue rises just south of Minden in Kearney County, Nebraska. It flows east-southeast past Hebron and Fairbury, Nebraska, and Marysville, Kansas. It joins the Big Blue River at Blue Rapids, Kansas.

The waters of Little Blue River, once noted for the namesake blueish tint, were later muddied by silt runoff from plowing.[2] Various other rivers also have the name "Little Blue River".
