Leroy Chollet (March 5, 1925 – June 10, 1998) was an American professional basketball player. Chollet enrolled at Loyola University New Orleans and led the Loyola Wolf Pack to their first championship. Louisiana schools were segregated at the time; Chollet had an African-American great-grandparent and was pressured into leaving Loyola when this was revealed. He moved to New York and played three seasons for Canisius College. Chollet played for several professional teams, including the Syracuse Nationals. During the inaugural season of the National Basketball Association (NBA), Syracuse reached the 1950 NBA Finals. An ankle injury limited Chollet's second year in the NBA.
