The Defence School of Transport (DST) Leconfield is located at Normandy Barracks, Leconfield near Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire in England.

It is a tri-service organisation which forms part of the Defence College of Logistics Policing and Administration. It teaches driver and transport management training to personnel from the British Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines.

The site was formerly RAF Leconfield which closed in 1977 when the Army School of Mechanical Transport moved in. The school was renamed the Defence School of Transport in 1996, when it took on responsibility for training personnel of all three British armed forces.
