Leslie Llewellyn James Main (26 November 1915 – 28 November 1998) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Main became a coach after leaving Collingwood and had success in the Hampden Football League with Warrnambool, which he guided to premierships in 1946 and 1947.[2]

He spent the 1948 season as coach of New South Wales club, Leeton, losing the preliminary final by four points[3] and Main was runner up in the South West Football League (New South Wales) best and fairest award, the Gammage Medal.[4]

Main then returned to the Hampden Football League as coach of Terang for two years, before moving on to Noorat in 1951.[2][5]
