Leonard "Len" Hyde (6 May 1876−1932) was an English professional footballer who played as a winger for a number of clubs around the turn of the 1900s.

Born in Birmingham, he was playing for Wellingborough Town till he moved to Tottenham Hotspur in May 1899.[1] He played for Spurs from 1899−1902 in the Southern and District Combination League, the Southern League and the Western League.[2] In his last season at the club he captained the reserve team.[3]

He then returned to Wellingborough[4] and in the 1903−04 season he was at Brighton & Hove Albion.[3][5]

For the 1904−05 season he moved to Doncaster Rovers who had just been elected to the Football League.[5] He scored once, against Leicester Fosse, in a total of 33 League and FA Cup matches.[5]

Following Doncaster's unsuccessful application for re-election to League 2 for 1905−06, he again returned to Wellingborough Town.[5]
