Leslie Arthur Waghorn (29 July 1906 – 22 August 1979) was an English cricketer. Waghorn was a left-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox. He was born at Robertsbridge, Sussex.

Waghorn made his first-class debut for Sussex against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in the 1926 County Championship. He made three further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against the touring New Zealanders in 1927.[1] In his four first-class matches for Sussex, Waghorn took 3 wickets at an average of 59.66, with best figures of 2/34.[2] With the bat, he scored just 14 runs at a batting average of 2.33, with a high score of 7.[3] In 1928, he made his final first-class appearance for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Derbyshire at Lord's.[1] In Derbyshire's first-innings of 353, he went wicketless from his fourteen overs. In the Marylebone Cricket Club's first-innings of 355, Waghorn was dismissed for a duck by Leslie Townsend. He did take a sole wicket in Derbyshire's second-innings, that of Jim Hutchinson, while in the Marylebone Cricket Club's second-innings he wasn't required to bat, with the match ending in a victory by 7 wickets for the Marylebone Cricket Club.[4]

He died at the village of his birth on 22 August 1979.
