Leslie Ernest Favell MBE (6 October 1929 – 14 June 1987) was an Australian cricketer who played in 19 Test matches between 1954 and 1961.

South Australia's fourth highest run scorer, Favell was a much loved character[citation needed] and a daring batsman who liked to hit the ball around the ground.

[citation needed] Favell moved to South Australia in 1951, joining the East Torrens Cricket Club.

[1][2] He made his Test debut against England in 1954-55 at Brisbane after making 84 and 47 against them for South Australia, but he failed in the series and was dropped.
