David Mark Lee (born November 5, 1967 in Whitefield, Greater Manchester) is an English former professional footballer.
Lee, a right-winger, began his career with Bury in 1986. In five years at Gigg Lane, he made just over 200 league appearances and scored 35 goals.
Southampton came in for his services in 1991 with a successful £350,000 bid. Lee's stay on the south coast was short-lived, however; after only twenty appearances he returned to the north-west with Bolton Wanderers in a one-month loan deal. In December 1992, Bolton made the move permanent in a £275,000 deal.
Lee remained at Burnden Park for five years, clocking up 147 appearances and scoring sixteen goals.
In 1997 he joined Wigan Athletic for £250,000, and he maintained his goalscoring touch, netting eleven goals during his three years with the Latics.
Lee joined Blackpool on loan in 1999, before making a permanent move to Carlisle United on a non-contract basis.
A year later, the midfielder joined non-league side Morecambe, with whom he finished his career.
