Lee Robert Molyneux (born 24 February 1989) is an English former professional footballer.

Specifically a full back, he began his career with Everton in 2000. Having progressed through the club's youth academy, Molyneux made his debut for the reserve team at the age of 16 and developed a reputation as a set piece specialist.[http://www.greensonscreen.co.uk/gosdb-players2.asp?pid=1003&scp=1,2,3,4,5,6,7 "Lee Molyneux"]. Greens on Screen. Retrieved 6 August 2010. He represented England at under-16, under-17 and under-18 levels. He joined Southampton in 2009, where he made his first-team debut and spent time on loan with Port Vale before being released from his contract in the summer of 2010. He then turned out nine times for Plymouth Argyle before leaving the club in January 2011.

After a spell in prison for assault, he returned to the English Football League in August 2012 when he signed with Accrington Stanley. After an impressive season with Stanley, he was signed by Crewe Alexandra in July 2013. He joined Rochdale on loan in November 2013 and re-joined Accrington Stanley on loan in January 2014 and October 2014. He signed with Tranmere Rovers in January 2015 and moved on to Morecambe four months later. He dropped into non-League football with Guiseley in August 2017 and spent the second half of the 2017–18 season on loan at Chorley, where he won the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy. He joined Barrow in July 2018 before signing with Cymru Premier club Bala Town 12 months later.
