Leonhard Haeger (1867–1977) was an architect in the United States. He designed buildings in St. Louis, Missouri including industrial structures, schools, and churches.[1] He designed the Alligator Oil Clothing buildings and former Pevely Dairy Company Plant buildings. Both were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]

The company's buildings were listed on the National Register in 2013. They are in the Bevo neighborhood at 4153-7 Bingham Avenue. The two main buildings were designed by Haege. He also designed the Pevely Dairy plant which also remains standing. They are a four-story reinforced concrete factory building built in 1918 and a two-story reinforced concrete office and factory building built in 1919.[3]
He studied at Manual Training School, Smith. Academy, and the St. Louis School of Fine Arts.[4] He married and had two sons.[5] His son Leonard also became an architect.[6]
