Leonard Mason Spencer (June 11, 1892 – June 12, 1962) was a lawyer and planter from Tallulah, Louisiana, who was from 1924 to 1936 a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for Madison Parish, located alongside the rich farming delta of the Mississippi River.
A native of Baton Rouge, Spencer was married in 1917 in an Episcopal ceremony to the former Rosa Vertner Sevier (1891-1978), originally from Kosciusko, Mississippi. Rosa was a great-great-granddaughter of John Sevier, a fighter in the American Revolution, an early governor of Tennessee, and the namesake of Sevierville in Sevier County in eastern Tennessee. Her cousins were Louisiana State Senator Andrew L. Sevier, whose tenure extended from 1932 until his death in office in 1962, and Henry Clay Sevier, who followed her husband in the state House seat from Madison Parish and served from 1936 to 1952.
