Edward Joseph Leonski (December 12, 1917 – November 9, 1942) was a United States Army soldier and serial killer responsible for the strangling murders of three women in Melbourne, Australia in 1942. Leonski was dubbed The Brownout Strangler, after Melbourne's wartime practice of dropping the electricity voltage to conserve energy. His self-confessed motive for the killings was a twisted fascination with female voices, especially when they were singing, and his claim that he killed the women to "get their voices". Leonski is the first and only citizen of another country to have been tried and sentenced to death in Australia under the law of his own country.

Leonski staat zowel bekend als de Brownout Strangler als de Singing Strangler als gevolg van zijn motief voor de moorden.

(nl) Edward Joseph Leonski (ur. 12 grudnia 1917 w Nowym Jorku – zm. 9 listopada 1942 w Melbourne) – amerykański seryjny morderca, który popełnił swoje zbrodnie na terenie Melbourne w Australii. Zamordował trzy kobiety. Media nadały mu pseudonim Brownout Strangler. W lutym 1941 roku Leonski został powołany do U.S. Army i wysłany z misją do Melbourne w Australii. W maju 1942 roku zamordował w Melbourne trzy kobiety. Przed dokonaniem ostatniej zbrodni był widziany przez wiele osób w towarzystwie swojej przyszłej ofiary. Gdy go zatrzymano pod zarzutem morderstw, został rozpoznany przez kilku świadków. Opinia publiczna była zszokowana tym, że zabójstw dokonał amerykański żołnierz, stacjonujący w Melbourne. W lipcu 1942 roku Leonski został skazany za zabójstwa na karę śmierci przez powieszenie. Wyrok został zaakceptowany przez amerykański sąd wojskowy. Nakaz egzekucji został podpisany przez generała Douglasa MacArthura. Wyrok wykonano w listopadzie 1942 roku w więzieniu Pentridge Prison. Po egzekucji zwłoki Leonskiego pochowano na cmentarzu Schofield Barracks Post Cemetery, w części przeznaczonej dla straconych skazańców. Leonski był drugim amerykańskim żołnierzem, na którym wykonano karę śmierci w Australii w czasie II wojny światowej. (pl) Эдвард Джозеф Леонский (англ.
