Saint-Léonard-de-Portneuf (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ leɔnaʁ də pɔʁnœf]) is a municipality in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada.
In 1897, the Parish of Saint-Léonard-de-Port-Maurice was formed, named after Leonard of Port Maurice (1676-1751). In 1899, the namesake parish municipality was created when it split off from Saint Raymond Nonnat, and that same year, the post office opened under the name Saint-Léonard-de-Portneuf. In 1950, the Parish Municipality of Saint-Léonard-de-Port-Maurice changed statutes and name to become the Municipality of Saint-Léonard-de-Portneuf.
