Leofgar (or Leovegard; died 1056) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford.Leofgar was consecrated in March 1056. He had previously been the chaplain to Harold Godwineson and it was probably Harold who persuaded King Edward the Confessor to appoint him to the bishopric. The appointment was disapproved of by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle mainly for the warlike character of Leofgar.
