Higgs boson productions at the LHC will serve as a sensitive probe of various little Higgs models. In this work we comparatively study two littlest Higgs models with different T-parity constructions through examining their effects in three production processes of the Higgs boson at the LHC, namely, the productions of a single Higgs, a Higgs-pair, as well as a Higgs boson associated with a pair of top and antitop quarks. The two models are characterized by predicting a top partner with, respectively, even and odd T-parity, which cancels the Higgs mass quadratic divergence caused by the top quark. We find that both models can alter the standard model cross sections sizably and their corrections also differ significantly. Therefore, the Higgs boson productions at the LHC might shed some light on these two models or even distinguish them.
