Leigh Ledare (b. 1976, Seattle, Washington) is a fine art photographer who, "uses photography and video to document his highly eroticized relationship with his mother."

In 2009, Ledare was included in an exhibition "Ca Me Touche," curated by Nan Goldin in Arles France as part of the annual Rencontres d'Arles photography festival. Writing in the New York Times, Roberta Smith said that Ledare is "taking us deep into the darkness and torment that drive many artists." In the series "Personal Commissions" Ledare "answered personal ads from women whose desires echoed those of his mother’s, and paid them to photograph him in their apartments, in a scenario of their choosing."
