Leo Ensio Linkovesi (8 April 1947 – 7 November 2006) was a Finnish speedskater who specialised on the shorter distances, the 500 m and the 1000 m. Linkovesi was born in Helsinki, Finland.

He won the first ever official World Sprint Speed Skating Championships in 1972.

In January of that year in Davos, he also set world records on the 500 m with 38.0 and in the sprint combination with 156.500 (38.7 – 1:19.3 / 38.0 – 1:20.3).

Remarkably, three other skaters (Hasse Börjes, Erhard Keller, and Lasse Efskind) equalled the 38.0 world record time before it was lowered by Yevgeny Kulikov to 37.99 in 1975.
