The Kleine Laber (also: Kleine Laaber, Bavarian: Kloane Laaba) is a river in Bavaria, Germany. The Kleine Laber issues into the Große Laber, which issues into the Danube River.

From its source in the Landshut district near Pfeffenhausen-Egg the Kleine Laber mostly flows in the north-east direction, among others, through Neufahrn in Niederbayern. Then the stream reaches the district Straubing-Bogen. There it passes through Mallersdorf-Pfaffenberg, Geiselhöring, Perkam, Atting and Rain. Finally the stream issues into the Große Laber at Atting - Wallmühle.

Originally the Kleine Laaber issued directly into the Danube. This changed in course of the training of the Danube. With this change a part of the Kleine Laber was cut off. Now this is called Kleine Laber in the Lower Meadow (Untere Au).
