Leo Murphy (born 7 August 1909) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn in the VFL during the 1930s. He was the father of Fitzroy great John Murphy.

Murphy was a defender and played originally on the half back flanks and the back pocket before moving to fullback. He won the Peter Crimmins Medal for Hawthorn's best and fairest in 1936 and 1937, the first player from the club to go back to back.
