William "Jamie" Leach (born August 25, 1969) is a Canadian-born American former National Hockey League right wing. He is the son of former NHLer Reggie Leach. He was included on both Stanley Cup winning pictures with Pittsburgh in 1991 and 1992.

Leach grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and played hockey at Cherry Hill High School East.[1]

Leach did not qualify for a Cup inscription in 1991 as he had played too few NHL games that season (seven regular season games). He played enough games with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1992 to get his name on the Stanley Cup.
