Leda is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the Town of Kwinana. Leda is one of the five main suburbs of Kwinana.

Leda is one of the Kwinana suburbs named after a ship. The brig "Leda" brought settlers to the new Swan River Colony in January 1830. The suburb name was approved in 1969.

The name "Leda" is appropriate for a ship which brought colonists to the Swan River. In Greek mythology Leda is associated with swans because the god Zeus came to her in the guise of a swan.
