Leslie Horace "Flapper" Hughes (18 April 1884 – 27 September 1962) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Hughes is said to be Melbourne's first AFL/VFL football celebrity publican (TBC). In 1927, Hughes was the owner and Licensee of the Royal Derby Hotel in Fitzroy. He rebranded the hotel as the 'Les Hughes Royal Derby Hotel' whilst he was the publican. Following his time at the Royal Derby, Hughes was later the Publican at the Aberdeen Hotel in Fitzroy North, and the Gasometer Hotel in Collingwood.
