Leo Maloney (born 28 April 1937) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Maloney came originally from the Lincoln Stars, in the Essendon District Football League.[1]

He was Essendon's 19th man in the 1957 VFL Grand Final, which they lost to Melbourne.[2] It was only his seventh league game and also his last, with injury keeping him out of action in 1958. Maloney then went to Williamstown in 1959 and played in their premiership team that year. He continued playing for Williamstown until 1964.[3]
