Leghorn (A.S.: /ˈlɛɡhɔːrn/, UK: /lɛˈɡɔːrn/; Itali: Livorno atau Livornese) adalah satu baka ayam yang berasal daripada Tuscany, tengah Itali. Ayam ini mula dieksport ke Amerika Utara pada tahun 1828 daripada bandar pelabuhan Livorno,[5] yang terletak di pantai barat Itali. Asalnya, ia dikenali sebagai "Italian", tetapi menjelang tahun 1865, baka ini dikenali sebagai "Leghorn", nama angliksasi tradisi pada "Livorno". Baka ini kemudian diperkenalkan ke Britain daripada Amerika Syarikat pada tahun 1870.[6] Leghorns Putih banyak digunakan sebagai ayam telur di banyak negara di dunia. Variati Leghorn lain kurang dibiakkan.
