Saint-Léon is a Roman Catholic church at 1 Place du Cardinal Amette in Paris's 15th arrondissement. Built between 1924 and 1934 to designs by Emile Brunet, it has a neo-Romanesque facade and a neo-Byzantine interior rich in elaborate mosaics and colourful period stained glass. It is a very good example of early twentieth-century religious architecture in Paris.
