Lenaert Leys, better known as Leonardus Lessius (1 October 1554 in Brecht - 15 January 1623, in Leuven) was a Brabant jurist, theologian, economist from the Jesuit order.
Nicknamed the "oracle of the Low Countries", figurehead of the School of Salamanca, he was a great source of inspiration for later jurists like Grotius, Juan de Lugo or Pedro de Oñate.
