Leslie Gilbert Illingworth (2 September 1902 - 20 December 1979) was a political cartoonist, best known for his work in the Daily Mail.

He drew a satirical cartoon strip featuring a caricature of Charles de Gaulle as a Dalek-like character called "the DeGaullek" rolling into the NATO summit. The strip, originally published in the Daily Mail on 25 November 1964, later appeared in a semi-official capacity in the docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time, in a scene where William Hartnell and Verity Lambert laugh at the strip together.
