Leonidas Kyrkos (Λεωνίδας Κύρκος; 12 October 1924 – 28 August 2011) was a Greek leftist politician and member of the Hellenic Parliament and the European Parliament.
In his teens, Kyrkos joined the communist youth and in 1941, he joined the resistance against the German occupiers.
He enrolled in Human medicine at the University of Athens but never came to graduate.
In the Greek civil war following Greece's liberation in 1944, Kyrkos was arrested for his membership in the Communist Party and was sentenced to death.
Leonidas Kyrkos was born in Heraklion, Crete, to Greek politician Michail Kyrkos, who went on to, along with Ioannis Pasalidis, form the United Democratic Left in 1951.
Only international pressure helped him and a number of his comrades survive and eventually become free in 1953.

After the restoration of democracy in 1974, he was elected MP in 1974 and 1977, and MEP in 1981 and 1984.
Kyrkos held the posts of president and general secretary of the Communist Party of Greece (Interior) until April 1987, when he left to become president of the Greek Left party.
He was an MP for the coalition from 1989 to 1993.
Along with Charilaos Florakis, leader of the Communist Party of Greece, he founded the Coalition of the Left and Progress (Synaspismós), of which was secretary until March 1991.
In 2000, his party nominated him in the election for the position of President of Greece.
