Charles Powell Leslie (13 September 1821 – 26 June 1871) was a British Conservative politician and landowner. He was Member of Parliament for Monaghan between 1843 and 1871, and Lord Lieutenant of Monaghan between 1858 and 1871. He was the third of his name; his father, and grandfather, also represented Monaghan.
Leslie was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1839. He played one first class cricket match for Oxford University Cricket Club against Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's on 16–17 March 1841.
He was squire of Castle Leslie, Glaslough, County Monaghan. He was unmarried, died without issue, and was succeeded as MP by his younger brother Sir John Leslie, 1st Baronet.
