Lucille Lee Stewart (December 25, 1889 – January 8, 1982) was an American film actress of the silent era.Doyle p. 68. Her screen career lasted between 1910 and 1926, during which time she played a mixture of lead and supporting roles.
Stewart worked in vaudeville before she began acting in films. Her early film work was in comedies for Vitagraph. Most of her roles were second leads, and her success dwindled in the 1920s. She "lived the remainder of her life in obscurity" after her 1925 divorce.{{cite web |last=Wollstein |first=Hans J. |title=Linda Lee Stewart |url=https://www.allmovie.com/artist/lucille-lee-stewart-p68248 |website=AllMovie |access-date=August 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210811023618/https://www.allmovie.com/artist/lucille-lee-stewart-p68248 |archive-date=August 11, 2021}}
