'''Mo'ed Katan''' or '''Mo'ed Qatan''' ([[Hebrew]]: מועד קטן, lit. "little festival") is the eleventh tractate of ''[[Moed|Seder Moed]]'' of the [[Mishnah]] and the [[Talmud]]. It is concerned with the laws of the days between the first and last days of [[Passover]] and [[Sukkot]] (as both of these festivals are a week in length). These days are also known as "[[Chol HaMoed]]" days. Mo'ed Katan also discusses the laws of [[Aveilus]] (Bereavement). Consisting of only three chapters, it has a [[Gemara]] from both [[Talmud|Babylonian Talmud]] and the [[Jerusalem Talmud]].
