We investigate the pair production of charged heavy leptons via photon-induced processes at the proposed CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Using effective photon and {ital Z} approximations, rates are given for {ital L}{sup +}{ital L}{sup {minus}} production due to {gamma}{gamma} fusion and {ital Z}{gamma} fusion for the cases of inelastic, elastic, and semielastic {ital pp} collisions. These are compared with the corresponding rates for production via the gluon fusion and Drell-Yan mechanisms. Various {gamma}{gamma} and {ital Z}{gamma} differential luminosities for {ital pp} collisions are also presented. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
