Malá Franková (Hungarian: Kisfrankvágása, German: Kleinfrankenau, Мала Франкова) is a village and municipality in the Kežmarok District of the Prešov Region of north Slovakia. It is traditionally inhabited by Gorals, as one of their westernmost settlements (along with Veľká Franková and Osturňa).

On 27 January 1945, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Malá Franková in the course of the Western Carpathian offensive and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.
