Luis Federico Leloir (Paris, 6 de setembro de 1906 — Buenos Aires, 2 de dezembro de 1987) foi um médico e bioquímico argentino, nascido na França. Recebeu o Nobel de Química de 1970, Sua investigação mais relevante, que justificou a distinção que lhe outorgou fama internacional, centrou-se nos nucleotídeos do açúcar, e o papel que cumprem na síntese dos carboidratos. Devido à sua descoberta foi possível entender, finalmente, os pormenores que caracterizam a doença congênita galactosemia.
