Leroy Cudjoe (born 28 March 1988 in Huddersfield, England) is an English professional rugby league player with Huddersfield Giants. Leroy attended Newsome High School and Sports College. Leroy's previous club is the Newsome Panthers.

Leroy joined the Giants' Academy aged 16 and was awarded a full-time contract at the end of the 2006 season.

He was selected to play for Yorkshire Academy in the fixture against Lancashire Academy in the 2005 season. This fixture is often seen as a trial game for the full England Academy team and although he initially made the England training squad, Leroy missed out on a place in the final England squad.

His 2007 season was partly disrupted due to a broken hand sustained in May, and he did not make a first team appearance although won the Giants Reserves Player of the Year award at the end of the season.

He made his Super League debut in Round 1 of 2008 against Leeds Rhinos. He scored his first competitive try for the club in the 50-16 defeat of Hull KR in May 2008.
