Lenny Hayes (born 14 January 1980) is an Australian rules footballer.
Originally from Sydney in New South Wales, Hayes was recruited from the Pennant Hills Demons AFC by St Kilda in the 1998 AFL Draft. He is a highly-skilled, classy midfielder. Coach Grant Thomas named Hayes as captain for the 2004 season, as part of St Kilda's policy of rotating the captaincy to a different player each season.
His honours include All-Australian selection in 2003, the same year he took out the Trevor Barker Award for the Saints' Best and Fairest player. He also won All-Australian selection in 2005, as one of the senior members of the Saints' midfield.
After a strong start to season 2006, Hayes ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament against the Kangaroos in round 9, requiring a minor knee reconstruction which will sideline him until the 2007 AFL Season.
