Les Hanigan is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer of the 1960s and 1970s. An Australian international and New South Wales representative wing three-quarter back, he played club football in Illawarra for Collegians, in Sydney for Manly-Warringah and in North Queensland for Proserpine.
A pro runner from Wollongong, Hanigan was selected to represent Southern New South Wales against the touring Great Britain team in 1966, scoring a try. He signed on to play in Sydney's NSWRFL competition with the Manly-Warringah club in 1967. That year he set a new club record for most tries in a match when he scored five tries in a match against competition newcomers, Cronulla-Sutherland. After playing for New South Wales, he scored two tries in Australia's First Test win over New Zealand. By the end of the 1967 NSWRFL season he had scored sixteen tries, the most in the competition, before being selected to tour with the 1967-68 Kangaroos. Hanigan played in 11 games on tour but no Tests. With Manly-Warringah he reached the 1968 NSWRFL season's grand final and played on the wing in the loss to Souths.
