Leszna Górna (Template:Lang-de, Template:Lang-cs) is a village in Gmina Goleszów, Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland, on the border with the Czech Republic. It has a population of 576 (2008). It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.

The village was first mentioned in a written document in 1305. By the end of the 14th century it had a parish church. The original Catholic wooden church changed to a Protestant one during the Reformation. After the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, the western part of the village was incorporated into Czechoslovakia and called Horní Líštná.

An important landmark in the village is the late Baroque Church of Saint Martin built between 1719 and 1731.
