The Leidart was an automobile manufactured by Leidart Cars Ltd in Pontefact, Yorkshire between 1936 and 1938.{{cite book|last=Georgano|first=Nick|authorlink= G.N.

The Leidart used a Ford V8 engine in an English chassis, with a combination of 2-seater and 4-seater open bodies.
Production was minimal, and may have only been the prototype, which featured extensively in press announcements of the time.
