Leo Ford (July 5, 1957 - July 17, 1991), born Leo John Hilgeford in Dayton, Ohio, was a 1980s pornographic actor (porn star) who appeared in gay and bi-sexual pornographic movies and magazines. He was considered a twink, and was at one time romantically linked to porn star Jamie Wingo. He was most well-known for his pairings with Lance in Leo & Lance and Blonds Do It Best, both directed by William Higgins. In his starring role for the film Games (1983), directed by Steve Scott. Ford played a medal-winning swimmer in the Gay Games competition alongside porn legend Al Parker, playing a photographer assigned to take professional portraits of the athlete. In a scene that would foreshadow what was to actually happen to Ford in real life, the character he played in Games had a severe motorcycle accident that left him hospitalized, and in a coma. The actor actually died some years later at the age of 34, a few days after being hit by a car while on a motorcycle with his lover, Craig Markle, who survived.
