Patrick Raymond Leonard (born 1955) is an American songwriter, keyboardist and music producer, known for his longtime collaboration with Madonna on many different recordings.

He gained his entry into the music business with late 1970s Chicago, Illinois-based pomp rock band Trillion, which also featured future Toto singer Dennis "Fergie" Frederiksen on lead vocals.

Leonard has worked with a wide variety of artists, including late-period Pink Floyd and solo Roger Waters, as well as Boz Scaggs, Deborah Blando, Peter Cetera, Bryan Ferry, Elton John, Anna Vissi, Jody Watley, Rod Stewart, Madonna, Blue October, and up and coming artist Rachel Loy. He also was half of the art-pop group Toy Matinee with the late Kevin Gilbert and Third Matinee with Richard Page.

In 1997 Leonard released the new age album Rivers on his own record label, Unitone.[1]

Leonard has three children: a daughter named Jessie (for whom Madonna's song "Dear Jessie" was written), and two sons, Sean, who plays keyboards, and Jordan, who plays bass.
