Leslie Clive Griffin (born 1907) was an Australian rugby league player from the 1930s.
Originally from Tumut, New South Wales, Les Griffin played for New South Wales in 1930 and 1931 before moving to the St George Dragons. He played first grade for only the 1935 NSWRFL season, but in doing so created a club and NSWRFL point scoring record. In a match against Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in 1935, Les Griffin scored 36 points (2 tries and 15 goals) in the St. George club's biggest ever win (91-6) which is still a club record for an individual player, while his 15 goals is still an NSWRFL record (held jointly with Easts legend Dave Brown.
