Leslie Thomas Hollis (23 May 1865 – 7 August 1898) was an Australian medical practitioner and politician.

In June 1891 Hollis was amongst the initial group of Labor Party members elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. He represented the Goulburn electorate in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1891 to July 1898, initially as a member of the Labor Electoral League in his first term, and later representing the Free Trade Party or as an independent Labor member after refusing to sign Labor's caucus solidarity pledge. From September 1895 Dr. Hollis suffered periodic ill-health from the effects of a stroke and died a month after he retired from parliament.
