Leonard George Garrett (14 May 1936 – 15 March 2011) was an English professional footballer and minor counties cricketer.

Garrett was born in Hackney. After playing for Eton Manor, he joined Arsenal in 1954, but did not feature for the club in any first team matches.[1] He was sold to Ipswich Town for £200 in 1958, featuring in just one first team match for the club.[2] He left Ipswich in 1961, joining Haverhill Rovers.[2]

Garrett also played cricket at minor counties level for Suffolk, albeit intermittently, from 1960 to 1973, making seven appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[3] He later emigrated to France, where he died in the Dordogne in March 2011.
