Léopold Héder (born August 16, 1918, in Cayenne, French Guiana, and died June 9, 1978, in Cambo-les-Bains, France) was a socialist politician from French Guiana who served in the French National Assembly from 1962 to 1967 and in the French Senate from 1971 to 1978. He presented himself as successor to Justin Catayée.
[Serge Mam-Lam-Fouck, ''Histoire de la Guyane contemporaine, 1940-1982'' 1992 "Léopold Héder semble avoir bénéficié de l'aura de Justin Catayée. Il se présenta en effet aux militants du Parti Socialiste et à l'opinion comme le fidèle successeur de ce dernier."]
