St Leonard, Foster Lane was a church of England church dedicated to St Leonard on Foster Lane in the City of London[1]. It was located near St Vedast Foster Lane.

It dated from at least the 13th century and served as a parish church for those living on St. Martin's Le Grand. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 and was not rebuilt[2], being united to Christ Church, Newgate Street[3]. It remained in ruins until the early nineteenth century[4] when the site was finally cleared, although the Parish Dole[5] was still available until 1907[6].
