Colonel Charles Powell Leslie, JP (1769 – 15 November 1831), of Castle Leslie, Glaslough, County Monaghan, was an Irish landowner and politician.

He was the eldest son of Charles Powell Leslie and the Hon. Prudence Penelope Hill-Trevor, daughter of Arthur Hill-Trevor, 1st Viscount Dungannon, and therefore, a cousin of the Duke of Wellington.

Leslie was Irish Member of Parliament for Monaghan (1801–1826) and New Ross (1830–1831). He succeeded his father, Charles Powell Leslie, in representing Monaghan.

He married secondly Christiana (née Fosbery), daughter of George Fosbery, of Clorhane, Limerick. By his second wife he had three sons and four daughters, including Charles Powell Leslie, Sir John Leslie, 1st Baronet, Christiana Beresford, Marchioness of Waterford, and Prudentia Penelope Cavendish-Bentinck.
