The Parish Church of St Leonard is a Roman Catholic parish church serving the village of Kirkop in Malta.
The church was built during the start of the 16th century in 1500. It became a parish church in 1592. Between 1706 and 1779 the church was enlarged to accommodate the growing population of the village. The church was dedicated and consecrated by the Bishop of Malta Vincenzo Labini on November 10, 1782. The church's two bell towers were built in 1800. The interior of the church was refurbished in 1878 by Reverend J. Barbara.
