Leonard James McCombe (1 June 1923 – 2015) was a Manx-born American war photographer and photojournalist who worked for Picture Post and Life.

McCombe was born on 1 June 1923 on the Isle of Man, and grew up in Port Erin.

[1] He moved to England to work for Picture Post from 1943 to 1945, covering the allied advance across Europe to Berlin.

At the time he was probably "the youngest Fellow in the history of the Royal Photographic Society".

[5] McCombe's photograph for Life (22 August 1949) of cowboy Clarence Hailey Long inspired advertising agency Leo Burnett to create the Marlboro Man advertising campaign.
