Shane Lee (born 8 August 1973 in Wollongong, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer.

Lee, an all-rounder, was a hard hitting batsman and medium pace bowler. He was a promising junior, representing the Australia U-19 team. He first played for New South Wales in 1993 and was called up for the Australian one day team in 1995.

Despite being included in the 1996 and 1999 World Cup squads, he only really established himself in the team in the 1999-2000 Carlton and United Series along with the emergence of his brother, fast bowler Brett Lee.

He also had a successful season with Somerset, scoring over 1,000 runs in 1996 and Worcestershire in the English County Championship.

Aged just 29, Lee retired from cricket due to knee injuries. Between 1995 and 2001 he played 69 One Day Internationals scoring 492 runs and taking 63 wickets.

Nine Network's "Changing Rooms", hosted by Suzie Wilks, featured Shane and brother Brett renovating each other's rooms with help from a professional designer.

Shane is married to Lorraine (née Paolucci).
