"Leo Kottke" is the first album on the Chrysalis label by guitarist Leo Kottke. After six releases on Capitol, Kottke and his manager/producer Denny Bruce changed labels. This release of all instrumental pieces written by Kottke (with the exception of "Buckaroo") also includes orchestrations by Jack Nitzsche. It reached #107 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts.

The composition "Airproofing" was significantly re-worked and released as "Airproofing II" on Kottke's "A Shout Toward Noon".

It was re-issued on CD by BGO in 1996.
