Leptofelis is an extinct genus of Pseudaelurus-grade felid found in Spain.
==Etymology== The generic name Leptofelis comes from the Latin words for swift, lepto, and cat, felis, essentially translating to "swift cat". The specific name vallesiensis was given because the species was found in localities of Vallesian age.
