Saint-Léonard—Anjou (formerly known as Saint-Léonard) was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1979 to 1988.

This riding was created in 1976 as "Saint-Léonard" riding from parts of Maisonneuve—Rosemont, Mercier and Saint-Michel ridings. It consisted of the City of Saint-Léonard, the Town of Anjou, and part of the City of Montreal.

The electoral district was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies, Papineau and Saint-Léonard ridings.
