Lytse Geast (Dutch : Kleinegeest) is a hamlet in Tytsjerksteradiel in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

Lytse Geast is not a statistical entity, [2] and the postal authorities have placed it under Tytsjerk. [1]

The hamlet was first mentioned in 1543 as Lutke Geest, and means "little higher elevated sand ground", and was a little island in a bog. [3] Lytse Geast was home to 75 people in 1840. It used to have a bakery and a grocery store, however the supermarkets caused the demise of the retail. Nowadays, it consists of about 60 houses inhabited by commuters. [4]

The polder mill Swarte Prinsch was built in Lytse Geast in 1900 and was in commission until 1959. In 1967, it became a recreational home. [5]
