Leonid Aleksandrovich Komarov (Russian: Леонид Александрович Комаров, Leonid Aleksandrovich Komarov; born 23 January 1987) is an Estonian-born Finnish–Russian professional ice hockey centre currently playing for and an alternate captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). A natural centre early in his career, Komarov has made the transition to being able to play all three forward positions.

Raised in Finland, Komarov is the first Estonian-born player in the NHL. Komarov was a member of the gold medal-winning Finnish national team in the 2011 IIHF World Championship.

Komarov was born in Narva, then part of the Estonian SSR of the Soviet Union, to Russian parents. When he was five years old, Komarov's family moved to the Swedish-speaking town of Nykarleby, Finland, when his father Alexander Komarov accepted a contract to play ice hockey there. Because his father was of Ingrian Finnish descent, the family was able to permanently reside there. Leo Komarov also holds dual Russian-Finnish citizenship.

Komarov is multi-lingual and can speak four languages: Swedish, Finnish, Russian and English.

Komarov is married to Juulia Manner. The pair tied the knot on 2 July 2016 in Suomenlinna part of Helsinki, Finland, after dating for 10 years. Among the guests were Maple Leafs teammates Nazem Kadri, Michael Grabner and Rich Clune.
