Léon Lecornu (13 January 1854, Caen – 13 November 1940, Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, Calvados) was a French engineer and physicist.

After his secondary education at the Lycée de Caen, Léon Lecornu obtained his engineering degree from École Polytechnique in 1872. In 1893, he was appointed professor at the Faculté de Caen, then at l’école des mines, and in 1900 at l’École polytechnique 1904.

He was elected a member of l'Académie des sciences in 1910 (section de mécanique).
