Lees Radcliffe (23 November 1865 – 22 January 1928) was an English cricketer. Radcliffe was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born in Smithy Bridge, Littleborough, Lancashire.

Radcliffe made his first-class debut for Lancashire against Sussex in the 1897 County Championship. He made 49 further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Sussex in the 1905 County Championship.[1] In his 50 first-class matches, he scored 275 runs at an average of 6.11, with a high score of 25. His role within the team was as a specilist wicket-keeper, as such he didn't place much emphasis on his batting. In his role as a wicket-keeper, he took 70 catches and made 34 stumpings.[2] The 1905 season was his last playing for Lancashire. Years later in 1911, Radcliffe played two Minor Counties Championship matches for Durham against Cheshire and Norfolk.[3]

He died at Crumpsall, Lancashire on 22 January 1928.
