Knutsford Little Theatre is an amateur theatre group based in Knutsford, United Kingdom. They were formed in 1925, as Knutsford Amateur Drama Society and changed their name, after acquiring their own premises on Queen Street.

The Society is part of the Cheshire Theatre Guild, and the National Operatic and Dramatic Association.
