Leslie (Scottish Gaelic: Fiodh Chill)[2] is a large village and parish on the northern tip of the River Leven Valley, to the west of Glenrothes in Fife.

[3] The village was granted burgh of barony status by James II in 1458 for George Leslie who became the first Earl of Rothes.

The former Fettykil paper mill lies within the Leven valley to the south and historic Leslie House, former stately home of the Earls of Rothes, sits in large grounds to the south-east of the village within Riverside Park.

[7][2] The village currently bears the name of the Leslie family descended from Bartolf or Bartholomew who was a Hungarian or maybe Flemish tradesman, who according to legend arrived in Scotland with Queen Margaret, the sister of Edgar the Ætheling in 1057.

Leslie Hearts play in the Kingdom of Fife Amateur Football Association's Championship, based at Quarry Park.
