Leeds is a village and civil parish in the Maidstone District of Kent, England. The parish is located to the east of Maidstone.

The village of Leeds is five miles (8km) from the county town. It appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 called Esledes - an old English word meaning slope or hillside. It is so called because the village is on the hillside above the River Len, a tributary of the River Medway. Its church, dedicated to St Nicholas, has the second largest Norman tower in England. There was once an Augustinian priory here.

To the east of the village is Leeds Castle.
