Skiddaw Little Man is a Lake District fell of 865 m in Cumberland. Its key col leads to Skiddaw, not to its nearest higher summit, Skiddaw South Top.

Its nearest higher summit, Skiddaw South Top (925.5 m, 1.0 km north-west), is a listed top not profiled here. Its drop of 60.6 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs.
