Leroy Shield (2 October 1893 – 9 January 1962) was an American composer of film and radio scores.

Tell Me about Your Background
When writing the music for films of Hal Roach
He took an astutely pragmatic approach,
And this is why scores of the late Leroy Shield
Were playful and direct, and not out in left field,
And he never attempted to be avant-gardey
When writing the music for Laurel and Hardy.
