Leszek Błażyński (Polish pronunciation: [ˈlɛʂɛk ˈbwaʐɨj̃skʲi]; 5 March 1949 – 6 August 1992) was a Polish boxer who twice won the bronze medal in the men's flyweight (– 51 kg) division at the Summer Olympics. He first did so in 1972, when Munich hosted the Games. Four years later in Montreal, he once again captured the bronze after a loss in the semifinals against eventual winner Leo Randolph of the United States.
Błażyński won the silver medal in the 1971 European Amateur Boxing Championships and the gold medal in the 1977 European Amateur Boxing Championships. Later in his career, he became a boxing coach.
