Léon Clément Doucet was a Belgian pianist.

Doucet was born and died in Brussels, Belgium. He studied for a time at the local Conservatoire, where his teacher Arthur De Greef had been a pupil of Franz Liszt.

His formal training was classical, and he traveled to the U.S. Some of his arrangements are still played today, for instance "Chopinata", a jazz tribute to several works by Frédéric Chopin.
