Andrew Brooke Leslie (born December 26, 1957) is a retired Canadian Forces Lieutenant-General and politician who served as the Chief of the Land Staff from 2006 to 2010 and as a Member of Parliament representing the riding of Orléans in the House of Commons, from 2015 until 2019.

Born at Ottawa in 1957, his father was Brigadier-General Edward Murray Dalziel Leslie (né McNaughton), Commander of 1st Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (1 RCHA) during the Korean War.

Leslie's father changed the family name from McNaughton to Leslie in compliance with the terms of an inheritance from his aunt (and wife of James Norman Stuart Leslie, descended from British Army Captain James Norman Stewart Leslie and General David Leslie).

His paternal grandfather was former Chief of the General Staff and Minister of National Defence General Andrew McNaughton, and his maternal grandfather was former Canadian Minister of National Defence Brooke Claxton.
