Lee Andrew Martin (born February 5, 1968 in Hyde) is a former English football player. He played at left-back .

Lee started his career in the Manchester United youth system. In 1990, he scored the only goal in the FA Cup final replay against Crystal Palace. This was a rare goal for Lee as he only scored one in his entire United career. Though Lee himself doesn't really want to take credit for it, he was indeed registered with his first goal in the 3-1 defeat of West Ham at Upton Park 16 months prior to the Wembley goal.

Lee Martin left Old Trafford in January 1994 to join Celtic (where his chances of success were scuppered by a broken leg) and had spells with Bristol Rovers and Huddersfield Town. He then moved to semi-professional League of Wales team Bangor City and is presently playing for NEWI Cefn Druids.

Lee currently works with young people helping them to gain qualifications, access college and get apprenticeships or employment in the West Cheshire area.
