The Wisconsin Little Ten Conference is a former high school athletic conference with its membership based in southeastern Wisconsin. It existed from 1970 to 2017 and all member schools were affiliated with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

History

The Wisconsin Little Ten Conference was founded in 1970 after the breakup of the Little Ten Conference. All six members of the Southern Little Ten (Beaver Dam, Hartford Union, Oconomowoc, Watertown, West Bend East and West Bend West) joined with Waupun (the largest school in the Northern Little Ten) to form its initial membership roster. Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee joined the Wisconsin Little Ten in 1974 after leaving the Midwest Prep Conference, bringing membership to eight schools. They were the only private high school in the conference during its history and were members of the Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletic Association prior to its merger with the WIAA in 2000.

The Wisconsin Little Ten's membership roster was remarkably stable over the course of its history, as the only other changes were the loss of Waupun to the East Central Flyway Conference in 2004 and the addition of Slinger to the conference in 2007 one year after they were displaced from the Parkland Conference after its ending. The conference was realigned out of existence in 2017, and all members were dispersed to existing conferences. Four schools (Hartford Union, Slinger, West Bend East and West Bend West) became members of the North Shore Conference, two schools (Beaver Dam and Watertown) joined the Badger Conference, Oconomowoc was accepted into the Classic Eight Conference and Wisconsin Lutheran entered the Woodland Conference.
