Leo R. Sack (July 9, 1889 – April 15, 1956) was an American journalist and diplomat who served as ambassador to Costa Rica from 1933 to 1937.[1][2]

Sack, from Mississippi, attended the University of Missouri, and later served in World War I in the United States Army Air Service.[3] He was a journalist, both in the South and in Washington, D.C.[4]

Sack served in the United States Diplomatic Service from September 1933 until he resigned his post in order to associate with Schenley.[5][3] After his resignation, Edward Albright was appointed to replace him;[6] but after Albright's death, William H. Hornibrook ultimately became the new minister. Later, he started a public relations firm.[1]

He died in 1956 from a kidney ailment; his wife and his daughter survived him.[1]
