Andre Leconte (1894–1990) was a French architect. The Lebanese government contracted with him to design Beirut International Airport at Khalde (1948-1954). He also designed the Lazarieh office building (1953) in central Beirut, and Rizk hospital built in 1957 in Achrafieh. Leconte received the "Prix de Rome" award.[1].

Leconte also participated in the conception of Nouakchott, capital of then-french Mauritania, with the assistance of Robert Joly[2].
