William Leroy "Leo" McCulloch (31 May 1896 – 31 July 1971) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
The son of William Andrew McCulloch and Anne Monica McCarthy, Leo McCulloch grew up in the Richmond area and commenced his football career playing for the Richmond Depot Tramways team. He played three games for Richmond during the 1918 VFL season and was described as a "heavy chap" who did fairly well but soon returned to junior football.
Eight years later, in 1926 McCulloch transferred to Hawthorn from Caulfield but only made a single appearance after spending most of the season in the reserves.
Leo McCulloch worked for the Tramways and then in the CUB Brewery until he retired a few years before his death in 1971.
