Leslie Perri (pen name of Doris Marie Claire "Doë" Baumgardt) was a science fiction fan and member of the Futurians. She was a writer and illustrator who had stories and art published in pro magazines like Astonishing Stories.

At Worldcon 1939, Perri left the con on the second day to join six exiled Futurians. There she participated in a mini-con of Futurian sympathizers and created In Your Teeth "Gentlemen", a protest zine that was distributed at the con. (See The Great Exclusion Act.)

Perri was married to fellow Futurian Frederik Pohl from 1940-42, and to Dick Wilson from 1951-65.
