* A [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] ''ComicBook/{{Superboy}}'' story had Clark Kent travel to a small asteroid/planet, where he found someone with powers similar to his own. At the time, the preferred explanation for Superman's powers was that Krypton was larger than Earth, so the native race [[HeavyWorlder evolved to counteract the more powerful gravity]]. The boy on the asteroid, it turned out, was from Earth, so on his little world, he got to have some of the same benefits Superboy did. The native races of all 3 ecosystems evolved to be [[HumanAliens identical in size and shape]]...

* Spacebuild maps for ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' have very small planets generally no bigger than about the size of a football field, though largely due to the [[UsefulNotes/GameEngine Source engine's]] max map size capping out under 1 kilometer^3.

* ''WebAnimation/AlphabetLore'': The letter Z, in lowercase form, is this in a literal case, considering the lowercase letters are all childlike in nature.

* The tiny moon that came to be known as LV-426 was just another dime-a-dozen planetoid barely 1,200 meters in ''diameter'', so small that it's gravity is only 0.86 that of Earth's; another insignificant rock with a primordial and unbreathable atmosphere destined to be forgotten in the vastness of space... were it not for the ghost-ship of an unknown Film/{{Alien}} civilization broadcasting a mysterious warning to ''not'' explore its cavernous innards... a warning unfortunately ignored by both the crew of the Weyland Yutani towing vehicle ''Nostromo'', [[Film/{{Aliens}} and the colonists of Hadley's hope 57 years after the former mysteriously dissapeared...]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/LoversInADangerousSpacetime'': The levels' planets are quite tiny, often being smaller than the players' spaceship and almost always much smaller than the random masses of rock also floating around, but nonetheless manage to have respectable gravitational pull nonetheless. In a more extreme example, stars are also the same general size.

* Played straight and justified in the novel ''[[http://www.wilmccarthy.com/tc.htm The Collapsium]]'' by {{Wil McCarthy}}: one of the main characters lives on an artificially constructed planet which is only a few hundred kilometers wide. It has a core made out of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_matter degenerate matter in the form of neutronium]] which gives it Earth-normal gravity, holds it in a spherical shape, and allows it to retain an atmosphere.
