I think this question may be a bit muddled. The most famous Leonidas is probably King Leonidas I of Sparta, who fought and died at the Battle of Thermopylae. A Phalanx, meanwhile, is a military formation involving large numbers of men with long 'spears' moving in a solid block (A simplistic definition). Clearly, Leonidas could not have been this.

If the question meant "Was Leonidas a fighter in a Phalanx?", the answer is that it is unknown. Although Herodotus indicates he fought on foot, he may or may not have wielded a long spear in a phalanx.

Leonidas certainly commanded a phalanx, so if that is the question... The answer is yes!
