Leonard John Keys lived from 3 August 1880 to 26 January 1958 and was a New Zealand lawn bowls player who competed for his country at the 1934 British Empire Games, though he is better known as a businessman and one of the pioneers of passenger bus services in Auckland. He was a member of the Auckland Bowling Club team that won the men's fours title at the 1932 national championships in Christchurch, and at the 1934 Games in London he played the men's singles, losing all nine of his round-robin matches and finishing tenth and last. Born in Patea, he apprenticed as a grocer in Auckland and married Sarah Margery McMaster in 1903.
