Lee Dickson (born 29 March 1985 in Verden, Germany) is a rugby union footballer who plays at scrum-half for Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership.

Dickson was educated at Barnard Castle School where he learnt his rugby. His first club was Newcastle Falcons where he made his debut for first team in the 2004/5 season. In 2008, he joined newly promoted Northampton Saints for the 2008/9 season.[2]

Born in Germany to an English mother and Scottish father, Dickson represented Scotland at the 2004 Under-19 World Cup before switching his international allegiance to England and being part of their Under-21 World Cup campaign a year later.

In 2008, Dickson played for England Saxons in the side that defeated Ireland A.[3][4] He was also called up to the England squad for the 2008 Six Nations Championship.[5][6]

In 2012, Dickson made his debut for the full national team off the bench in England's 6 Nations match with Scotland, in which England won 13-6 and retained the Calcutta Cup. He played great for the remaining six nations games in particular against France. After the 6 nations, Stuart Lancaster was rewarded with the manager job on full-time basis.
