Leonard Grey, 1st Viscount Grane (1479/1492 – July 28, 1541), known as Lord Leonard Grey before 1536, was Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1536 to 1540.
On receiving instructions from Henry VIII he commanded an army against Irish rebels who would not acknowledge Henry's supremacy, and renounce the Pope. He was created Viscount Grane in the Peerage of Ireland on January 2, 1536.
For allowing the escape of the young Earl of Kildare to France, he was attainted of high treason and executed at the Tower of London on July 28, 1541.
He was the sixth son of the 1st Marquess of Dorset.
