The Leatherneck Raiders was a fictional organization in the Marvel Universe.
The Leatherneck Raiders were a specially trained tactical commando squad organized during World War II. They were commanded by Captain Simon Savage, who modeled his squad after his one-time associate Nick Fury's Howling Commandos. Although the Leatherneck Raiders (also known as the Leathernecks, and the Battlefield Raiders) were an effective fighting force in World War II, they never achieved the recognition that the Howling Commandos received.
Aside from Captain Savage, the team consisted of:
- Private Lee Baker
- Corporal Jacques Larocque
- Private Jay Littlebear
- Seaman Roy "Blarney" Stone
- Sgt. Sam "Yakkety" Yates
