Andrew Lee (born July 1, 1986) is a player with the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League. He was drafted from the Burnie Dockers, via the Tassie Mariners U18s and the Tasmanian Devils, with selection 30 in the 2004 Draft.
Lee was captain of the Tassie Mariners U18 side in 2003 and 2004, and was ranked in the top 5 for the agility test at draft camp, which was an impressive effort for a taller, more solidly-built player.
Lee’s debut year at Essendon was marred by a serious case of osteitis pubis. He was in fact the only senior-listed player at Essendon to fail to play a senior game in 2005. Tall and athletic, Lee has been targeted by the coaching staff as a key position player at either end of the ground. The faith the club has invested in him is evident in the granting of the prized number 32 jumper, previously worn by club champions Barry Davis and Tim Watson.
