Ledyard is a town in New London County, Connecticut, United States, located along the Thames River. The population was 14,687 according to the 2000 census.

Ledyard is among the areas of the United States that was covered by a continental ice sheet during the last Ice Age. Therefore, Ledyard has its share of interesting glacial geology. The glaciers that covered Ledyard carried the many large boulders that litter the town and most of northern United States. The town has set aside land designated as a 'Glacial Park' which consists of a section of end moraine and outwash deposits (containing kettles). This area encompasses a segment of the 'Ledyard Moraine,'--a clast-supported boulder deposit that is anamolous in nature.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 103.6 km² (40.0 mi²). 98.8 km² (38.1 mi²) of it is land and 4.8 km² (1.9 mi²) of it (4.62%) is water.

Ledyard is situated north of Groton, and borders the east bank of the Thames River in southeastern Connecticut.
