Leigh Fisher (born 19 April 1984) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Fisher was recruited as the number 46 draft pick in the 2002 AFL Draft from Sandringham. He made his debut for the St Kilda Football Club in 2003 against the West Coast Eagles in Round 18. Fisher went on to become a regular fixture in the Saints' best 22 playing as a small defender in 2006 and 2007 but fell out of favour in 2008. His last AFL season game for the Saints was in Round 11, 2008 against the Bulldogs.
Fisher originally wore number 22 until 2005 when he changed to number 6. He now wears the number 37 after his rookie redrafting. Number 6 is now worn by Zac Dawson.
On 13 November 2009 he was delisted from the St Kilda team. As of the end of the 2009 AFL season he had played in one AFL finals match and one pre-season cup final. He did not play a game in 2009. He has been redrafted by St Kilda as a rookie player.
Fisher played in St Kilda’s 2008 NAB Cup winning side – the club's third pre-season win.[1][2]
