Johnny Leoni (born 30 June 1984) is a footballer from Switzerland.
He joined Zurich in May 2003, but did not become their first-choice keeper until the 2005–06 season when he took over from Davide Taini.
FCZ supporters remember fondly the 3 penalties in the penalty shootout in the quarterfinal of the Swiss Cup against Aarau.
His achievements have been noticed by Ottmar Hitzfeld and he has been included in four squads for the Swiss national team but has yet to make an appearance. Leoni earned his first cap for the Swiss on 10 August 2011 after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 2:1 win over Liechtenstein in a friendly match. He had previously been part of their 2010 FIFA World Cup squad but did not feature.
Leoni will join Omonia from season 2012–13 after he agreed terms with the club in the January transfer window. He commented that, in order to join AC Omonoia, he sacrificed a position in the national team of Switzerland. Since he joined AC Omonoia however, from the 10 shots he received in total (up to 23/9/2012) he failed to block 6.
In February 2013 Leoni joined Azerbaijan Premier League side Neftchi Baku on loan till the end of the season. In April 2013 Leoni returned Omonia having not played during the 11 games he was in Azerbaijan for.
