It depends on which bone you are referring to. The one in the top of the leg is the femur, which extends from the hips to the kneecap. This happens to be the longest and largest bone in the body.
From the kneecap to the ankle you have two bones, the outer and smaller one of which is called the fibula. The inner larger bone in the lower leg is the tibia. The tibia is the bone commonly referred to as the shin bone.
