Leonard Dobbin (1775 – 19 February 1844) was an Irish Liberal politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1832 to 1837.

Dobbin was a clerk of the peace in Armagh. In the 1832 general election Dobbin was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Armagh. He held the seat until 1837.[1] Dobbin then became High Sheriff of Armagh in 1838.[2]

Dobbin died at the age of 69. His daughter Mary married William Hamilton Maxwell.[3]

Dobbin gave to the city an area of parkland beside the Ballinahone River in Armagh.[4] This is commemorated in the song Dobbin's Flowery Vale.[5]
