"Little Saint Nick" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys that was released as a single on December 9, 1963. Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, it is a Christmas-themed hot rod song, in the vein of "Little Deuce Coupe", this time featuring Santa Claus and his sleigh.

The single peaked at number 3 on Billboard magazine's special seasonal weekly Christmas Singles chart. Its B-side was an a cappella version of "The Lord's Prayer". In November 1964, an alternate mix of "Little Saint Nick" appeared as the opening track on The Beach Boys' Christmas Album.
