The multipolar response of a small metallic sphere is studied with use of a nonlocal dielectric function. Results obtained with the hydrodynamic and Lindhard-Mermin models are presented and compared to those given by the local Drude model. We find an enhancement of the imaginary part of the multipole polarizabilities at low frequencies and pole order l
