W.S. Leslie (fl. 1870's) was a British Christy's style singer and performer.

He was apparently attached to the St James Hall, London, and a member of the touring Harvey-Dougherty-Leslie-Braham Minstrels, that visited the Cape Colony for a set of three seasons, between November 1872 and the end of 1874.

He may have been the same Mr Leslie who first appeared in Cape Town with Charles Fraser in three pieces during 1858. (see Charles Fraser).
