Leopold is a small unincorporated community in Leopold Township, Perry County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. With a population of less than 100, Leopold is the site of a Roman Catholic church, St. Augustine, a general store, Guillaume's Store, a restaurant, Marcy's, and a quiet atmosphere. On the last Sunday in July, Leopold holds its annual St. Augustine's picnic, which serves both as a fund raiser for the local parish and as a homecoming for former residents.

Leopold was founded in 1842 by the Reverend Augustine Bessonies and named for the then reigning king of Belgium, Léopold I. The post office at Leopold has been in operation since 1846.
