''The Jungle Book'' by Rudyard Kipling features a major character named Bagheera, a black Indian leopard who is a mentor figure to Mowgli and is one of his friends. He is well-known as a powerful hunter, as bold as a buffalo and as reckless as an elephant as is described, and he is one of the most feared animals in the jungle just after Shere Khan the tiger. "Mowgli's Brothers" reveals that Bagheera was born in captivity in a king's palace, but after his mother died, he broke out of his cage and escaped into the wild and became a feared predator. The Disney movies - both 1967 and 2016 - have him be a sterner character yet just as devoted to Mowgli's safety and well-being.

The ''Warriors'' book series does not feature leopards, but cats regard leopards with reverence as they believe that they had inherited their hunting skills. Cats are even sometimes named after them, like Leopardfur.
