Little Fighter is a song by American/Danish hard rock band White Lion and was the first single released from the 1989 album Big Game.

The song features a music video and was also re-recorded in 1999 on the album Remembering White Lion (also released as "Last Roar" in 2004) and a live version was released in 2005 on the live album Rocking the USA.

The song was covered by punk band, Death by Stereo, on the Punk Goes Metal album, released on August 1, 2000. This was first album released in the "Punk Goes..." compilation series created by Fearless Records, featuring covers of heavy metal songs performed punk rock bands.
