Leonard Mawe born c. 1552, Rendlesham, Suffolk, the son of Simon Mawe born Epworth, Lincolnshire, c. 1531 and Margery Wylde born Selby Yorkshire c. 1522 (d. 1629, Chiswick) was a Bishop of Bath and Wells and a Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge and Trinity College, Cambridge.

He gained a BA degree from Peterhouse in 1592 and was elected a fellow in 1594, later becoming Master of Peterhouse on 16 November 1617.
