Les Woodford (born 11 May 1897) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Originally from Williamstown, Woodford played for Hawthorn in their inaugural VFL season in 1925.[1] He was the first Hawthorn player to kick five goals in a game, doing so in their round three loss to Collingwood.[2] By the end of the year he had kicked 20 goals, which was enough to top their goal-kicking.[2]

He spent the next part of his career at Camberwell.[3]
