Leon Thompson (born 1986) is an Irish Gaelic footballer. He plays with Naomh Conaill and the Donegal senior inter-county team.

Thompson played in the final of the 2005 Donegal Senior Football Championship as Naomh Conaill won their first ever title.[1] His club also won the 2010 County Final and went on to reach the final of the 2010 Ulster Senior Club Football Championship, knocking out Cavan champions Kingscourt, Monaghan champions Clontibret and Tyrone champions Coalisland along the way.[2][3]

Thompson is a veteran of Donegal's 2007 National Football League-winning campaign. When recalled to the senior inter-county panel by Jim McGuinness for winter training in September 2013, he had not played for Donegal since 2009.[4] He maintained his place with the team for their 2014 Ulster Senior Football Championship and the year's All-Ireland Final.
