Joseph-Henri Léveillé (May 28, 1796 - February 3, 1870) was a French physician and mycologist who was a native of Crux-la-Ville, in the department of Nièvre.

Léveillé studied medicine and mycology at the University of Paris, and in 1824 received his medical doctorate. In his 1837 paper Sur le hymenium des champignons, he was the first to provide a comprehensive description of the basidium and cystidium of basidiomycete fungi. Other noted works by Léveillé include:

Memoire sur le genre Sclerotium (1843)
Considérations mycologiques, suivies d'une nouvelle classification des champignons (1846)
Iconographie des Champignons de Paulet (1855)
