An electric-assisted leisure lifting recliner includes a back frame (31) pivotably mounted to a seat frame unit (2). A footrest unit (4) includes a connecting portion (41) pivotably connected to a front end of the seat frame unit (2). First and second frames (51,52) are pivotably connected to a base unit (1) and the seat frame unit (2) and are operable to move the seat frame unit (2) vertically. A telescopic rod (54) is pivotably connected to an actuating block (53) and the connecting portion (41). An actuator (6) pivotably connected to the actuating block (53) can move the footrest unit (4) to an extended state and to recline the back frame (31). When the connecting portion (41) abuts against the seat frame unit (2), the telescopic rod (54) can be shortened to independently recline the back frame (31). When a length of the actuator (6) is shortened, the first and second frames (51,52) and the seat frame unit (2) are lifted, and a rear end of the seat frame (21) rises.
