Daniel Leighton Jenkins, known as Leighton Jenkins, was a Welsh international lawn bowler born on 4 December 1928, who died on 8 March 2013. He took up bowls in 1947 after breaking his arm playing rugby and joined the Penclawdd Bowls Club. He won the Welsh national fours in 1967 and the Welsh national pairs in 1968 with Gwyn Howells, a result that sent them to the 1968 British Isles Bowls Championships. He then represented Wales at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh and partnered Maldwyn Evans in the pairs at the 1972 World Outdoor Bowls Championship. By profession he was head of music at a comprehensive school.
