Mount Mala Popadia is the peak of the Ukrainian Carpathians, located in the Gorgan mountain range. It is located in the southern part of Rozhniativ district in Ivano-Frankivsk region.

Mala Popadia itself (height - 1597 m) is called "small" because it lies next to the 143 m higher Mount Popadia (or Velyka Popadia). The height of the latter is 1740 m.

The top of M. Popadi is asymmetrical, flat, and the slopes on the western and northern sides are very steep and almost inaccessible. There are alpine pine forests and stone scree typical for the Gorgan Mountains everywhere.

Not far from Mala Popada, there are other peaks that are no less popular among hikers: Parenki and Grofa in the northeast, Velyka Popadia in the southeast, and Studeniec in the east.

Mala Popadia is a part of the famous tourist route "Grofka-Popadia Ring".

The nearest settlement is the village of Osmoloda.
