Leather is the main drop from most passive animals like Cows, Horses, Mules, Llamas, Donkeys, and Mooshrooms. They normally drop 0-2x Leather and up to 5x with Looting III enchantment.
You can also craft 1x Leather by using 4x Rabbit Hide in a 2x2 shape.
Fishing with an unenchanted fishing rod will have a higher chance to drop 1x Leather.
Alternatively, you can find Leather in the Nether by looking for chests in Bastion Remnants or trading with the Piglins.
