Théo Leoni (born 21 April 2000) is a Belgian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian First Division A club Anderlecht^[1][2]

Leoni moved from the youth ranks of R. Charleroi S.C. to Anderlecht in 2012.^[3] On 5 September 2017, he signed his first professional contract with Anderlecht.^[4] He made his debut for Anderlecht in the Belgian First Division A on 30 October 2022 against K.A.S. Eupen. He had been captaining RSCA Futures in the Challenger Pro League, and been training with the Anderlecht first team since being promoted under former manager Vincent Kompany in 2019. A graceful left-footed playmaker, a debut in the first team prior to 2022 had been delayed by an initial lack of physicality but this part of his game developed with time.^[5] This development was to the extent that he has been described as “a revelation at number 8, the engine of the RCSA Futures”.^[6] Commenting after his debut at the relatively late age of 22, Leoni said he “had always remained positive” during his ten years at the club despite seeing players younger than him make first team starts before him.^[7]

Leoni was born in Belgium to an Italian father and Spanish mother.^[8] He is a youth international for Belgium, having played up to the Belgium U19s.^[9]
