Nope. Quirrell on the possibility of Lucius framing Hermione:
“From a dark alley the black-clad form of Malfoy steps forth—he would go in person, for this—and speaks to her a single word.”
“Imperio.”
“Legilimens, rather,” said Professor Quirrell. “I do not know if the Hogwarts wards would trigger for a returning Professor under the Imperius Curse. And if I do not know, Malfoy probably does not know either. But Malfoy is a perfect Occlumens at least; he might be able to use Legilimency. And for the target...perhaps Aurora Sinistra; none would question the Astronomy Professor moving about at night.”
“Or even more obviously, Professor Sprout,” said Harry. “Since she’s the last person anyone would suspect.”
The Defense Professor hesitated minutely. “Perhaps.”
I’ve wondered this as well. Eliezer seems to think it is, as it’s listed when one of the characters (I forget who) enumerates means of mind control including Imperius and the Confundus Charm. Possibly it’s fanon?
The Potter Wiki cites Voldemort using Legilimency to send Harry visions and briefly possess him, though their connection seems like it ought to be a fairly unique case.
In HPMoR, at least, Moody was able to “reshape Harry to make him believe he was on fire”, which implies Legilimency is more than just passive mind-reading.
Legilimensed? I thought Sprout was Imperiused?

I don’t understand. How is Legilimens a method of mind control?
