- Henry Leslie (1580 ? 9 April 1661) was a Scottishman who became the Church of Ireland Bishop of Down and Connor from 1635 to 1661 and briefly Bishop of Meath from January to April 1661.
Leslie married Jane Swinton of Swinton, Peebles. Their eldest son, Robert Leslie, was successively bishop of Dromore, Raphoe, and Clogher, and died 10 August 1672. James, the second son, was taken prisoner fighting for Charles II at the battle of Worcester; the third son, William, was also a royalist officer. William's grandson was father of Theodosia Meade, Countess of Clanwilliam. His daughter Mary was the mother of the noted judge and book collector Sir Henry Echlin.
