Leonardus Johannes Petrus Maria (Léon) Frissen ( Beek, 24 June 1950) was Queen's Commissioner or Queen's Governor of the province of Limburg, Netherlands.

In the Dutch province of Limburg, the Queen's Commissioner is usually called "Gouverneur" ( governor), as in Belgium. Similarly, the "Provinciehuis" (Province Hall) at Maastricht is called "Gouvernement" (Governor's Residence). This local custom arose from the particular status of the current province in the nineteenth century.
