Leleith Hodges (born 22 June 1953) is a Jamaican former track and field sprinter who competed mainly in the 100 metres. She was one of Jamaica's most prominent female runners of the 1970s.

She appeared three times at the Summer Olympics (1972, 1976, 1980) and three times at the Commonwealth Games (1974, 1978, 1982). Her highest honours came with the women's 4×100 m relay team, with which was a silver medallist at the 1979 Pan American Games and a bronze medallist at both the 1982 Commonwealth Games and 1983 World Championships in Athletics.

Her 100 m personal best of 11.14 seconds (a former Jamaican record) was set at that meet.
