Arthur Leonard Bamford (born 1874 in Leicester, deceased), known as Arthur Leonard, was an English professional footballer who played as an inside-forward.

Leonard, then known by his original surname of Bamford, signed for Leicester Fosse in 1895, but walked out on them. Small Heath spotted Leonard playing for Glentoran and signed him on the spot for a fee of £120. However, representatives of Leicester recognised him as their absent player, and when questioned as to the facts, he disappeared again. Persuaded to return to Birmingham, he admitted to being Bamford, and the matter was settled by Small Heath paying Leicester a further £20 to complete the transfer. In 1902–03 he was the club's top scorer with 16 goals. After leaving Small Heath he played briefly for several clubs before settling at Reading where he spent four seasons.
