Carl LeBlanc is an American guitarist and banjo player. LeBlanc is most striking for his work in both avant-garde and traditional jazz—being the only musician to have worked and recorded with both famed Afro-futurist keyboardist/bandleader Sun Ra and Preservation Hall.

Blending varying styles of New Orleans tradition, namely Mardi Gras Indian and Second line style, LeBlanc has recorded seven solo albums during his career.

LeBlanc was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in the Seventh Ward. He heard the city's brass band parades in his neighborhood when he was a child; but it was the Beatles's famous Ed Sullivan appearance which inspired him to take up the guitar. At the early age of 12 he began performing with high school-aged neighborhood bands and served as an apprentice to many older neighborhood  musicians.

Recruited by former Jesuit High School classmates, LeBlanc received a scholarship to Columbia University where he studied Music Education. He would later graduate from Southern University of New Orleans, studying under the tutelage of Kidd Jordan, and move to Philadelphia to play with renowned jazz musician Sun Ra.

During his career, LeBlanc has also performed with Fats Domino, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the Dirty Dozen, Allen Toussaint, Bo Diddley, Ellis Marsalis Jr., James Rivers, Blind Boys of Alabama, and Irvin Mayfield & the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra. LeBlanc continues preserving the legacy of New Orleans music tradition as an educator and composer
