Ian Leroux (born May 6, 1999) is a Canadian professional football long snapper for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played U Sports football at Laval.

Early life Ian Leroux was born on May 6, 1999. He played CEGEP football at Cégep Garneau in Quebec City, Quebec. The 2020 U Sports football season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Professional career Leroux was rated the best long snapper in the 2024 CFL draft. He signed with the team on May 6, 2024. He was released before the start of the 2024 CFL season and returned to Laval for his final year of U Sports eligibility. After long snapper Mike Benson suffered an injury in the season opener, Leroux was signed to Winnipeg's practice roster on June 16. Benson mentored Leroux while he was injured. Benson was later released on August 12, 2025, after being a healthy scratch for two games, cementing Leroux's spot as the team's long snapper.
