Travis Lee (born on May 26, 1975 in San Diego, California) is a major league first baseman and a free agent .He spent a small part of the 2004 major league season playing for the New York Yankees, but trips to the disabled list caused Lee to miss much of the 2004 season.

Travis Lee graduated from Capital High School in Olympia, WA in 1994. Lee was initially drafted as the second pick in the Amateur Draft by the Twins organization before signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks after his agent, Scott Boras, found a loophole that made him a free agent.

Travis Lee's best season in the Majors was likely his first (71 Runs, 22 HR, 72 RBI, .269 BA). He was the starting first baseman in the Diamondbacks' inaugural season of 1998 (and he hit the first home run in Diamondbacks history).

On Mother's Day, May 14, 2006, Lee was one of more than 50 hitters who brandished a pink bat to benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation. On September 10, 2006, Lee was released by the Devil Rays.
