William Leslie (16 March 1814 – 4 March 1880),[1] was a Scottish Conservative Party politician.

Leslie was elected Conservative MP for Aberdeenshire at a by-election in 1861—caused by the succession of George Hamilton-Gordon to 5th Earl of Aberdeen—and held the seat until 1866 when he resigned.[2]
