Leonard Bernard "Butch / Len" Levy (February 19, 1921 – February 9, 1999) was an American professional athlete.
The 1941 NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion and 1942 AAU champion, he was selected by the Cleveland Rams of the National Football League (NFL) in the fourth round of the 1942 NFL Draft.
He instead enlisted in the United States Navy and played for one of that branch's organized military service teams, the Great Lakes Bluejackets. Following his discharge from the Navy, Levy played two seasons for the NFL's Rams, winning the NFL Championship in 1945.
He then played for the Los Angeles Dons of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) from 1947 to 1948, earning First Team All-AAFC honors in the latter year — his final season of professional football. Following his football career, Levy was a professional wrestler in the American Wrestling Association (AWA).
