Léonard-David Sweezey Tremblay (16 April 1896 – 19 September 1968) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Chicoutimi, Quebec and became a journalist and public servant by career.

Tremblay was educated at Lauzon College and served in both World War I and World War II. He was first elected to Parliament at the Dorchester riding in the 1935 general election then re-elected there in 1940, 1945 and 1949. The margin of victory of the 1949 election was particularly small, as Progressive Conservative candidate Gérard Corriveau trailed by 221 votes.{{cite news | title=Quebec Prospect: PC's See Victory in Dorchester | newspaper=The Globe and Mail | date=6 August 1953 | page=13 | first=George | last=Bain }}

At the end of the 21st Canadian Parliament in June 1953, Tremblay was appointed to the Senate under the Lauzon division and remained in the Senate until September 1965.
