Leonidas Lent Hamline (1797-1865) was an American Methodist Episcopal bishop, born in Burlington, Connecticut, USA.

Hamline studied for the ministry, but afterward studied law, and practiced for a while in Ohio. He became a preacher in the Methodist church in 1830. In 1844, when the Methodist church divided over slavery, he was a member of the General Conference, and drew up the plan of separation. Hamline University is named in his honor.

A number of his sermons are given in the Works of L. L. Hamline, D. D., edited by Rev. F. G. Hibbard, D. D., (two volumes, 1869).
