Martin Lee (born 13 January 1978) is an English former professionaltennis player. Born inLondon, he resides inMarlow,Buckinghamshire.

Lee was a promising junior, reaching No. 1 in the world junior rankings. In 1995 he won the Boys Doubles atWimbledon. A left-hander, he turned pro in 1996. He struggled with constant knee and groin problems throughout his career, which eventually forced his retirement from the professional circuit in November 2006.^[1]

Lee's best singles result on theATP Tour was to reach the final of theHall of Fame Championships inNewport, Rhode Island in 2001. On 11 March 2002, Lee achieved his career-high singles ranking of World No. 94, establishing himself as the British number three behindTim Henman andGreg Rusedski. It was the first time in 23 years that Britain had three players in the Top 100. However, in November 2002 he underwent knee surgery and was out of action for 10 months, and his ranking never recovered.

Lee reached the second round of the men's singles at Wimbledon four times, in 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2006. He appeared in theUS Open in 2001, and managed to take two sets off of seeded playerSjeng Schalken, however the Dutchman prevailed 6–3 in the deciding set. Lee's ranking also ensured automatic qualification for the main draw of theAustralian andFrench Opens in 2002, but he lost in the first round on both occasions. Overall he won 21 and lost 46 ATP Tour matches.

Lee won two of his three matches for Great Britain in theDavis Cup, however these were onlydead rubbers. Lee lost his only live match against Thailand'sParadorn Srichaphan in straight sets.
