Leo C. Zeferetti (July 15, 1927 – March 21, 2018)[1] was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from New York.[2] Born in Brooklyn, New York, he attended public schools in Brooklyn. He served in the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946 and was an officer of the New York City Department of Correction from 1957 to 1974.[3] During this period, he enrolled at New York University (1963) and Baruch College (1964-1966) but did not take a degree from either institution.

Zeferetti was a member of the New York State Crime Control Planning Board from 1972 to 1974 and a representative to President's Conference on Correction in 1971. He served as the President of the Correction Officers' Benevolent Association from 1968 to 1974.[4] In 1974, he was elected from a district that included the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. His district was eliminated in redistricting in 1982, and the bulk of its territory was merged with the Staten Island-based district of freshman Republican Guy Molinari, who defeated him in the general election that year.
