Mama Petite (born around 1957 - died March 8, 2007) was a hippopotamus who has been on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo since her capture in the wild in 1959.

She was joined in 1979 by a younger male companion, Tadpole (born 1978). In all, Mama Petite gave birth to nine offspring, all of which have been transferred to other zoos.
