Egerton Leigh (disambiguation)
Egerton Leigh was a 19th-century British Army officer, landowner and Conservative MP.
Egerton Leigh may also refer to:
- Egerton Leigh (priest), LLD and Archdeacon of Salop
- Sir Egerton Leigh, 1st Baronet (1733–1781), Surveyor-General and Attorney-General of South Carolina
- Sir Egerton Leigh, 2nd Baronet (1762–1818), of the Leigh baronets, founder and the first minister of Rugby Baptist Church.
Egerton Leigh has also from time to time been used colloquially by way of differentiation between the family of Leigh of West Hall and that of Legh of East Hall; both were rival landed gentry families seated at High Legh, Cheshire since the Middle Ages, and whose surnames (although spelled differently) have exactly the same pronunciation.
