Leandro Benítez, (born 5 April, 1981 in Ensenada) is an Argentine soccer player. He usually plays as a midfielder on the left side of the pitch.

A native of Ensenada, Benítez grew in the youth system of Estudiantes de La Plata, and in 2001 was transferred to Quilmes Atlético Club where he played two years, and then to Olimpo de Bahía Blanca where he stayed another two years. A transfer to Spanish side Elche did not work out due to left knee problems.
