Leonard Stephen Pascoe (born February 13, 1950, Bridgetown, Western Australia, as Len Durtanovich) is a former Australian Test and ODI cricketer.

He played in 14 Tests and 29 ODI's between 1977 and 1982, during which time he defected to World Series Cricket. In the 1980 Centenary Test at The Oval in London, he took 5/59 in the 1st innings. Pascoe retired from international cricket due to a knee injury after the 1981/82 Frank Worrell Trophy series in Australia.

His career totals were 64 Test wickets at 26.06 and 53 ODI wickets at 20.11.

Geoff Lawson spoke in his autobiography Henry, of how the fast-bowler Pascoe, the son of Yugoslavian immigrants, was subject to baiting about his origins, especially from the Chappell brothers.
