The Last Leopard: A Life of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa is a biography about the Italian writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, written by the English historian David Gilmour. It was published by Quartet Books in 1988.
Herbert Mitgang of The New York Times called the book well-researched and fascinating. He wrote that its only flaw is that it "avoids any real critical judgment of Lampedusa's dilettantism, his approval of Mussolini's military adventures and his desire for a revival of the moribund Italian monarchy". It received the 1989 Marsh Biography Award.
