Leone di Lernia (18 April 1938 – 28 February 2017) was an Italian radio host, singer, and composer of the genre trash-demented. He gained popularity in early nineties, thanks to the cover of parodic goliardic and often scurrilous songs of dance music. He had been for almost fifteen years (1999 to 2008 and again, even if partially, from 2011 to 2016) the comic shoulder of the radio program Lo Zoo di 105 on Radio 105 Network.
