Januar 1875 in Trempealeau, Wisconsin; † 13. September 1956) war ein US-amerikanischer Geologe. 1892 wurde Leith von Charles R. Van Hise von der University of Wisconsin–Madison als Stenograf angestellt, damit er an Van Hises Publikationen arbeitete. Er war so von dem Thema seiner täglichen Arbeit fasziniert, dass er 1897 den Bachelor in Geologie ablegte, und den Ph.D. im Jahr 1901. Als Van Hise 1903 zum Präsidenten der University of Wisconsin gewählt wurde, bestimmte er den 28-jährigen Leith zum Direktor der geologischen Fakultät. Er bekleidete diese Stelle bis 1934, also 31 Jahre, und blieb auch danach dort, bis er im Jahr 1945 seinen Ruhestand antrat. (de)
