Leslie William Hayward (17 May 1885 – 5 July 1937) was an English international rugby union player.
Born in Cheltenham, Hayward was a captain of hometown club Cheltenham RFC and in 1910 became the first England player to be selected directly from the club, playing as a centre three-quarter against Ireland at Twickenham.[1] His opportunity came through a late call up, after Barney Solomon had made himself unavailable.[2]
Hayward was a Gloucestershire representative player.[3]
