Leslie Eric McLean (19 April 1918 – 16 December 1987) was an English first-class cricketer.

McLean was born in April 1918 at Lynton, Devon. He was educated at Bishop's Stortford College,[1] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Derbyshire at Oxford in 1939. He made two further first-class appearances in 1939, against Lancashire and the Free Foresters.[3] He scored a total of 79 runs in these three matches, with a high score of 51.[4] He had made his debut in minor counties cricket for Hertfordshire in 1936, with McLean playing minor counties cricket until 1939, making a total of thirteen appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[5]

His first-class and minor counties career was ultimately cut short by the Second World War. He served in the war with the Royal Marines, enlisting as a second lieutenant in November 1939.[6] He was made an acting temporary lieutenant in March 1940,[7] before being made a temporary lieutenant in April 1940.[8] He died at Guildford in December 1987.
