Leavitt Falls is a {{convert|200|ft|m|adj=on}}, multi-tiered waterfall in the Sierra Nevada of Mono County, California. The falls are located on Leavitt Creek, a tributary of the West Walker River and are formed where the creek drops off the edge of a hanging valley into Leavitt Meadow.
A turnout on Highway 108 provides a view of the falls and meadow. The falls themselves are not accessible by trail, as they are located in a steep narrow box canyon. The waterfall and other nearby features are named for Hiram Leavitt, an early settler in Mono County.
