Leigh Tucker Richmond (April 21, 1911 – July 14, 1995), also known as Leigh Richmond-Donahue, was an American writer. She is chiefly associated with science fiction, including work published under the name Leigh Richmond.
She began publishing fiction in the early 1960s, with "Prologue to an Analogue" appearing in Analog. A number of her best-known novels were collaborations with her husband Walt Richmond, including Challenge the Hellmaker and The Earth Dwellers, and she also wrote some stories on her own.
Richmond also worked as an editor on annual science fiction anthologies, helping bring together notable short fiction for readers of the genre. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included.
