Leonard Joe Gustafson (born November 10, 1933) is a Canadian Senator and former Member of Parliament.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Gustafson was a farmer, contractor and businessman, before he was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1979 general election as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Assiniboia, Saskatchewan.
He was subsequently re-elected in the 1980, 1984 and 1988 elections. Gustafson served as parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney from 1984 until shortly before Mulroney left office.
