Leslie Dam is located ten kilometers from Warwick Central Business District in Queensland, Australia. Freshwater fishing and water sports facilities are available.

SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure a consistently high level of safety for the dams under their control, of which the Leslie is one of them. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term. [2]

The dam was named after Patrick Leslie (1815–1881), the first person to by land in Warwick.
