Samuel Albert LeBlanc III (born November 12, 1938) is a lawyer from St. Francisville in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, who is a Democratic former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 86 in Jefferson and Orleans parishes. His legislative tenure from 1972 to 1980 corresponded with the first two terms of Governor Edwin Edwards.
LeBlanc is descended from a political family whose roots reach back into the 19th century. His grandfather, Samuel A. LeBlanc I, a graduate of Tulane University Law School in New Orleans and a native of Paincourtville in Assumption Parish, was also a member of the Louisiana House - for a term extending from 1912 to 1916. From 1920 to 1930, the senior LeBlanc was district judge of the Louisiana 23rd Judicial District, which then included Ascension, St. James and Assumption parishes. In 1929, LeBlanc was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Justice Paul Leche of the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal, a post to which he was later elected and served until 1949, when he won election to the Louisiana Supreme Court to finish the unexpired term of a retiring chief justice. LeBlanc remained on the court until December 1954, not long before his death.
