Leon Malhomme in 1932

Leon Malhomme (5 January 1881 in Saint Petersburg - 1940 in the Soviet Union) was a Polish interwar diplomat.

He worked as a Consul General of the Polish Republic in Germany - in Beuthen (1929-1931) and Oppeln (1931-1933), and as a Consul in Czechoslovakia - in Ostrava (1934-1935).
