Leigh Fisher (born April 19, 1984) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

He was recruited as the number 46 draft pick in the 2002 AFL Draft from Sandringham. He made his debut for St. Kilda in Round 18, 2003 against the West Coast Eagles.

Fisher established himself in the St.Kilda defence in Round 8 2006 after two frustrating seasons with injury. He is a general defender who can win his own ball and dispose of it effectively. Fisher's average of three groundball-gets in the defensive 50 was the best of anyone and his overall contested possessions average of seven was the best of all defenders in the competition.
