Leonard Victor Astill (born December 30 1916, Wolverhampton - 1988) was an English footballer.

Astill began his career with hometown club Wolves, who he made just 2 appearances for (in April/May 1935), before joining Blackburn Rovers for £3,000 in 1936. After a year in the Second Division at Blackburn, again without any significant first team action, he signed for Ipswich Town of the Southern League in June 1937.

He had his best season so far at Ipswich, but again moved on after just a year, joining his final side, the recently-formed Colchester United, in May 1938.
