Leonard Alfred Schneider (13. oktobar 1925 – 3. august 1966), poznatiji po umjetničkom pseudonimu Lenny Bruce, je bio američki komičar i pisac poznat kao jedan od najžešćih društvenih kritičara svog vremena, ali i po javnim stand up nastupima gdje je često psovao, a zbog koga mu se 1964. sudilo sudskom procesu zbog opscenosti na kome je osuđen na zatvorsku kaznu. Prije nego što je počeo izdržavati zatvorsku kaznu, umro je od prekomjerne doze droge, te postao jednom od ikona i mučenika američke kontrakulture, seksualne revolucije i borbe za slobodu govora. Danas se smatra jednim od najvećih scenskih izvođača svog vremena i uzora brojnim budućim stand up izvođačima.

Godine 1974. je o njemu Bob Fosse snimio biografski film Lenny gdje njegov lik tumači Dustin Hoffman.
