Leonforte (Sicilian: Liunforti) is an Italian comune with a population of 14,046[3] in the Province of Enna, Sicily.

The town is situated 22 km from Enna, in the centre of the Erean Mountains at 600 metres a.s.l.

The ancient settlement of Tabas or Tavaca stood in the approximate location of Leonforte.

In 1610 Nicolò Placido Branciforti founded a city, naming it Leonforte in tribute to his family's coat of arms; a lion holding a banner with the motto in fortitudine bracchii tui.

[4] Leonforte is adjacent to the road Strada Statale 121 that connects Enna, Palermo, Nissoria, and Paternò.
