}}Leslie Gordon Field (29 November 1921 – 29 September 1986)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played two games with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]

Raised in Casterton, Les Field enlisted to serve in World War II in July 1942,[3] and was reported as being in a motor regiment in December 1942 after completion of special wireless training in Sydney.[4] He was discharged after the end of the war, in early 1946.

In March 1946 Les Field was named as an Essendon recruit[5] but ended up playing for Casterton that year. He played well for a Casterton District team against Essendon in Oct 1946.[6]

He commenced playing with Essendon in 1947, performing well in the reserves[7] before making his senior debut against Fitzroy on 31 May 1947.[8] He was dropped after two games and in 1948 was reported as seeking a clearance to Hawthorn[9] but this move did not eventuate and his elite level career ended after only two games.

Les Field died in September 1986.[10]
