Leonard Horridge (18 August 1907 – 1 September 1976) was an English cricketer. Horridge was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. He was born in Adlington, Lancashire.

Horridge made two first-class appearances for Lancashire in the 1927 County Championship, against Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, and a further first-class appearance against the Minor Counties in 1930,[1] scoring a total of 33 runs at an average of 16.50,[2] while with the ball he took 3 wickets at a bowling average of 26.33, with best figures of 2/46.[3] Although these were his only first-class appearances for the county, he did represent the county Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship, making 42 appearances from 1927 to 1930.[4] This also allowed him to be selected for a combined Minor Counties team, making two first-class appearances for it, against the touring West Indians in 1928 and Lancashire in 1930,[1] scoring a total of 24 runs.[2]

He died at Preston, Lancashire, on 1 September 1976.
