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).
Historical records first mention the village in 1568. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Malá Franková was part of Szepes County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. 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.
Malá Franková is at an altitude of 750 metres, covers an area of 10.808 km², and has a population of about 180 people.
