Lee is the lava-flooded remnant of a lunar crater that lies on an inlet of the Mare Humorum, in the southwest part of the Moon. To the east is the Vitello crater, and just to the north is the Doppelmayer crater remnant.

The rim of Lee crater is worn and somewhat eroded, with a wide gap along the northeast where lava entered and covered the floor. The interior is relatively flat and free of significant impacts. The craterlet 'Lee A' is attached to the exterior of the southern rim of Lee.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Lee crater.
