John Anthony "Tony" Lee (born 26 November 1947) is an English former footballer who played on the right wing in the Football League for Bradford City and Darlington. He played for Stockton as a youngster, was on the books of Leicester City and Hartlepool United without appearing in the league for either, and also played non-league football for Stockton, South Shields, and Goole Town.
After his playing career ended, he went into management at the non-league level, with clubs including Whitby Town, Billingham Synthonia, Gateshead (two spells), South Bank, Bishop Auckland (two spells), Spennymoor United (three spells), Newcastle Blue Star, Celtic Nation, and Billingham Town.
He also acted as a scout for Darlington when his son Graeme Lee, himself a former league footballer, was their manager.
