Don Leonardo VII Tocco (1 January 1698 – 31 March 1776), later also known under the full name Leonardo di Tocco Cantelmo Stuart, was an 18th-century Italian noble, serving as the Prince of Montemiletto and the titular Prince of Achaea from the death of his father Carlo Antonio Tocco in 1701 to his own death in 1776.
Throughout his life, Leonardo reached high honors and positions in service to the papacy, the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Naples. He served as the captain of the cavalrymen of the papal guard, an Imperial Counsellor of State in the Holy Roman Empire and a field marshal and vicar general in the Kingdom of Naples. In 1738, Leonardo became one of the first knights of the Order of Saint Januarius. He assumed the full last name 'di Tocco Cantelmo Stuart' after marrying Camilla Cantelmo Stuart, whose family claimed descent from the Scottish and English royal House of Stuart.
