Lilla Jönssonligan (English: The Little Jönssonleague) is a Swedish film series that consists of four movies. The film series is a spin-off of the original Jönssonligan film series. The main difference about the two series is that the main characters are portrayed as kids instead of adults in this one, hence the word "little" in the title. Rocky, the original third member, is not featured in any of the films. Unlike the "adult Jönssonligan", where the gang where bumbling anti-heroes, the "litte Jönssonligan" is often straight up heroic.

Despite the fact that the Swedish Jönssonligan originally was a remake of the Danish Olsen-banden series, the kid version was an original Swedish idea, with Denmark and Norway later following suit, with Olsen-banden Junior and Olsenbanden Jr. respectively.

Films
