Leonard Stephen Pascoe (born 13 February 1950, Bridgetown, Western Australia, as Leonard Stephen Durtanovich) is a former Australian Test and ODI cricketer.

Pascoe played in 14 Tests and 29 ODIs between 1977 and 1982, during which time he transferred to World Series Cricket [ [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/australia/content/player/7083.html Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Len Pascoe ] ] . In the 1980 Centenary Test at The Oval in London, he took 5/59 in the 1st innings. Pascoe retired from international cricket due to a knee injury after the 1981/82 Frank Worrell Trophy series in Australia.

Geoff Lawson spoke in his autobiography "Henry" of how the fast-bowler Pascoe, the son of Macedonian [Peter,Hill. (1989) The Macedonians in Australia, Hesperian Press, Carlisle, pp.131] immigrants, was subject to baiting about his origins, especially from the Chappell brothers. He once famously stated that "a tiger never changes its spots."
