Dr. Lee Siew Choh (zh-sp|s=李绍祖|p=Lǐ Shàozǔ; 1917 - 18 July 2002) was a Singapore politician. He was trained as a medical doctor, but spent most of his life as a political leader. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Singapore following the 1959 election. In 1960 he served as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Home Affairs. In 1961 he and 13 other MPs formed the Barisan Sosialis after they broke away from the People's Action Party. He led the party in the 1963 elections, winning 13 of 51 seats.

Lee Siew Choh was noted for his pro-leftist stance oratory skills - making the longest speech ever in the Parliament of Singapore with seven hours, on the subject of Singapore's proposed merger with Malaya in 1961. In 1988 Barisan Sosialis merged with the Workers' Party for whom he stood as candidate. He did not win a constituency but entered the Singapore parliament as a non-constituency member due to the number of votes he received. He retired in 1991. He died in 18 July 2002 due to natural causes.
