Justin Leonard (born June 15, 1972) is an American professional golfer.
Leonard was born in Dallas, Texas. He attended the University of Texas at Austin and was the individual NCAA champion in 1994. He won the Haskins Award in 1994 as the most outstanding collegiate golfer.
As a professional he made his name by winning the 1997 British Open, one of golf's four majors. He has ten career wins on the PGA Tour. Apart from his British Open, his highest profile victory came at the 1998 Players Championship. He has featured in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

The victory was somewhat marred by the celebration following Leonard's putt, when other U.S. players, their wives, and a few fans ran onto the green even though Leonard's opponent, José María Olazábal, still had an opportunity to match Leonard on the hole.
Leonard and his wife have 2 daughters and one son.
