Quenton Harold Leach (born 20 August 1972) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League (AFL) for the Fremantle Dockers between 1995 and 1998. He was drafted from Claremont in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) as a foundation selection in the 1994 AFL Draft and played mainly as a defender.

Leach played most of his football in the backline, but is best remembered for kicking a goal after the siren to win a game against Brisbane in 1997. Fremantle were behind by one point when Leach took a mark about 30 metres from goal, just seconds before the siren sounded to end the game. His kick after the siren went straight through the goals and Fremantle won the game by 5 points.

In November 2016 Leach revealed that he had testicular cancer. In July 2017 it was reported that two rounds of chemotherapy had been successful in treating the cancers.[1]
