Leo 120, also known as Kretikos, was a patrikios and one of the leaders of the synkletikoi and others, seventy-two in number, who gave evidence against the exiled patriarch Ignatios 1 at the Council summoned against him in 861: Nicetas, Vita Ignatii 517D (Λέων πατρίκιος ἐκεῖνος ὁ Κρητικὸς ὀνομαζόμενος). Cf. also Theodotakios 1. His nickname presumably indicates Cretan origins.
