Leeds was a federal electoral district represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1904 to 1979. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was first created in 1903 from parts of Leeds North and Grenville North and Leeds South ridings.

It was initially defined to consist of the county of Leeds, excluding parts included in the electoral district of Brockville. The Brockville riding was initially defined as the Town of Brockville and the Township of Elizabethtown. From 1882 to 1903 it included the Township of Kitley and from 1903 to 1914 it also included the Townships of Yonge and Escott, Front, Yonge and Escott, Rear and the village of Athens.

It 1914, it was redefined to consist of the whole county of Leeds, including the town of Brockville. In 1966 it added the Townships of North Burgess, North Elmsley and Montague excepting the Village of Merrickville from Lanark County.

The electoral district was abolished in 1976 when it was redistributed between Lanark—Renfrew—Carleton and Leeds—Grenville ridings.
