James Kenneth Leitch (born 11 August 1945) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the VFL during the mid-1960s. He later played in Tasmania and represented the state in interstate matches.
A wingman, Leitch made his debut for Melbourne against St Kilda[1] in their premiership year of 1964 but didn't play in the finals. He played ten matches in 1965, having his most successful effort with four goals as a half-forward flanker against Essendon in Round 10.[2]
