Leon Herzog (1919 – January 2013), born לײַסאַר הערציק (Yiddish) or Lajsar Hercyk (Polish), was a Polish-born Brazilian Jewish industrialist, Holocaust survivor, and pioneer of Brazil's early motorcycle industry. After surviving Nazi persecution during the Second World War, he emigrated to Brazil, where he founded the Leonette brand of light motorcycles and mopeds, noted for their use of licensed Central European engines. Herzog and his wife, Yvonne Herzog, were also connected to the Feldman family of Rio de Janeiro through their daughter, the musician and musicologist Myrna Herzog, and later donated the Feldman Collection of hanukiot (plural of Hanukkah menorah) to the Jewish Museum of Rio de Janeiro.
