Lee Arenberg (born July 18, 1962 in Palo Alto, California) is an actor. He played Pintel, one of Captain Barbossa's crew of miscreants, in the films Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

In his leisure time, Arenberg enjoys golf, cooking, blues harmonica, video games and pitching for his softball team Bubblin' Crude, which is made up of other actors, many of whom are friends from high school. He is involved with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and other children's health causes, and animal rights organizations, participating regularly in fund raising efforts on behalf of those charitable causes.

He has guest starred on all the Star Trek spinoffs Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise. In both his first and last appearances ("The Nagus" and "United") he coincidently played a character named Gral (one was a Ferengi and the other a Tellarite).

Arenberg also played the recurring role of bookie Mike Moffit in two episodes of Seinfeld. In one episode, he and George Costanza had a parking dispute, while in another his thumbs were accidentally broken while trying to repair Jerry Seinfeld's car trunk.
