Leendert Barth (born 11 January 1952[1] in Puttershoek) is a Dutch former football player. He was mainly a back-up goalkeeper who played his entire career in Belgium.

Barth started his career with Fortuna Vlaardingen.[2] At the age of 19, he moved to RSC Anderlecht where he would soon become back-up goalie for Jan Ruiter, and later on for Jacky Munaron. Being denied a chance as first choice keeper, Leen Barth moved to a different Brussels side, Union SG. He would stay there for one season.

In 1976, Leen Barth signed for Club Brugge. He would play for them until 1981. Barth then went to cross city rivals Cercle Brugge where he remained until his retirement.
