Archibald Little (January 12, 1837 – April 14, 1922) was an Ontario merchant and political figure. He represented Norfolk North in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal member from 1903 to 1904. Little won his seat in a by-election after the incumbent, Frederick Snider, was unseated by a court on five charges of electoral corruption for paying for railway tickets for voters and accepting money from the Conservative Party in exchange for being the party's candidate.[1]
Little was born in Mayfield, Chinguacousy Township, Peel County, Upper Canada, the son of William Little. In 1868, he married Louisa McCool. He was a merchant in Waterford and chairman of the High School board.[2] He died in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1922.[3]
