Sir John Leigh (1575 – January 1612) was an English landowner, soldier and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1597 and 1611.
Leigh was the son of John Leigh of Coldrey, Hampshire and his wife Margaret or Margery Saunders, daughter of Thomas Saunders of Uxbridge, Middlesex.
His father died on 20 January 1576 when he was a year old and he succeeded to the manors of Coldrey, Chauntsinger near Alton, Medstead, Alresford and Bishops Sutton in Hampshire.
He went with the Earl of Essex to Ireland in April 1599 as captain of 50 horse, but returned to England in the autumn.
