Lê Trung Tông (Hán tự: ) was the second king under the Anterior Lê Dynasty. He held his throne for only three days which was considered one of two shortest reigns in Vietnam's history, along with Dục Đức under the Nguyen Dynasty.

He was born in 983 to Lê Đại Hành and Empress Diệu Nữ. His born name was Lê Long Việt (Hán tự: ). He was one of over ten princes of Lê Đại Hành. After the Crown Prince Long Thâu died, he was chosen as Crown Prince.

In 1005, after the decease of Lê Đại Hành, there was conflicts over the subject that who become the heir of throne. The conflicts led to the warfare between these princes in 8 months, the nation fell out to the anarchy. The main war was between the running crown prince and the oldest survived prince Long Ngân (the second prince after former crown prince Long Thâu). In October 1005, Long Ngân defeated and quickly fled to Thạch Hà area but unfortunately to him, he was killed by natives. Hence Long Việt took the accession to the throne.

But after just three days, he was simply killed by an assassin sent by Lê Long Đĩnh. The assassin merely climbed over the wall, creeped into the King room and killed him. The result was the accession of Lê Long Đĩnh soon after that.
