Leonard David Coleman (born January 30, 1962) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the United States Football League (USFL) and National Football League (NFL).

Coleman was born in Boynton Beach, Florida, a suburb of Miami, and played scholastically at nearby Lake Worth High School.[1] He played collegiately for the Vanderbilt Commodores,[2] and, as a senior, was selected as a first-team All-American by Gannett News Service (GNS).[3]

Coleman was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the first round of the 1984 NFL draft, the first player drafted by the team following its relocation from Baltimore.[4][5] He sat out the 1984 NFL season because of a contract dispute,[6][7] instead signing a deal with the Memphis Showboats of the United States Football League and completing his degree at Vanderbilt.[8] Early in the 1985 season, however, Coleman joined the Colts after the club bought out his contract with Memphis.[9] He started all 16 games for Indianapolis in 1986,[10] but played in only four games in 1987.[10]

Coleman was traded to the Chargers for an undisclosed draft pick on July 9, 1988,[11] playing 16 games in 1988 and one in 1989[10] before being waived on September 12, 1989.[12]
