The New England Region is one of ten United States regions that currently send teams to the Little League World Series, the largest youth baseball competition in the world. The region's participation in the Little League World Series dates back to 1957, when it was known as the East Region. However, in 2001, the East Region was split into the New England Region and the Mid-Atlantic Region.
Regional headquarters are located in Bristol, Connecticut.
The New England Region consists of four New England states:
- {{flag|Maine}}
- {{flag|Massachusetts}}
- {{flag|New Hampshire}}
- {{flag|Vermont}}
Following the 2021 LLWS, Connecticut and Rhode Island were moved to a newly created Metro Region. The latter region is one of the two new U.S. regions to be created as part of a planned expansion of the LLWS from 16 to 20 teams. This expansion was originally scheduled to occur for 2021, but was delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web |url=https://www.littleleague.org/news/little-league-baseball-and-little-league-softball-world-series-to-expand-in-2021/ |title=Little League Baseball and Little League Softball World Series to Expand in 2021 |date=August 24, 2019 |website=Little League Baseball |publisher=Little League International |access-date=August 24, 2019}}
