Michel Leclère (born 18th March 1946 in Mantes-la-Jolie, Yvelines, France) is a French former grand prix driver known for his time racing in Formula One.

Formula One
1976: Shadow
By 1976, Leclère was driving for the Shadow team alongside Welshman Tom Pryce, sharing the second car in a part season with Italian driver Arturo Merzario. Leclère's best result in the Shadow was a eighth place in the Spanish Grand Prix.
Deeming the 1976 season as a failure, Leclère returned to Formula Two the following year.
1978: Ligier
Leclére returned to Formula One in 1978 at the German Grand Prix with Ligier Gitanes replacing Anton Roche. Leclére was involved in a heavy accident with a spinning John Watson on lap one which shattered both ankles - ruling him out for rest of his season.
