A team lead or team leader is the leader of a team.

The responsibilities of a team lead vary greatly between organizations, but usually includes some responsibility for team building and ensuring teamwork. The term is used to emphasize the cooperative nature of a team, in contrast to a typical command structure, where the head of a team would be its "commander".

At Circuit City, a team lead's major responsibilities are to direct and motivate the associates in their department. This is done by setting examples through their actions. Lowe's also has a team leads function, however the team lead's major responsibilities are the same as the responsibilities of any other associate.

Confer with "straw boss".
