John Leonard (born 1965) is an Australian poet.
He was born in Cambridge, England, and from 1984 to 1987 studied at Oxford University. In 1991 he moved to Australia and completed a PhD at the University of Queensland.
He currently lives in Canberra, Australia and was poetry editor of the journal Overland from 2003-2007.
