Delyo Leskovski was a Bulgarian hajduk of the late nineteenth century, born in Leskovets near Florina, then in the Ottoman Empire. He formed his own band and operated around Vich and Pelister, frequently crossing into Greece. Those who sheltered him included Todor Furnadzhiev in Bitola, Gele Tarsiyanski, who later defected, the priest Nikola in Tarsie, and Velo Vodenicharya in Brusnik. Georgi Peshkov and Georgi Pophristov tried to persuade him to join IMARO, but only a week later he was killed fighting Ottoman soldiers near Bel Kamen.
