Leda (em grego: Λήδα), na mitologia grega, era rainha de Esparta, esposa de Tíndaro. Certa vez, Zeus transformou-se em um cisne e seduziu-a. Dessa união, Leda chocou dois ovos, e deles nasceram Clitemnestra, Helena, Castor e Pólux. Helena e Pólux eram filhos de Zeus, mas Tíndaro os adotou, tratando-os como filhos de sangue.
