Suguha Kirigaya (桐ヶ谷 直葉, Kirigaya Suguha) is a fictional character who appears in the Sword Art Online series of light novels by Reki Kawahara.

After her mother reveals to her that Kazuto Kirigaya is not her biological brother, Suguha starts to develop romantic feelings towards him but is later saddened after realizing his attachment to Asuna Yuuki.
In the anime adaptation, Leafa is voiced in Japanese by Ayana Taketatsu and in English by Cassandra Lee Morris. The character has received mostly positive critical reception, with praise centered on her character development and portrayal.
