Lee Jong-wook (born June 18 1980) is a South Korean outfielder who plays for the Doosan Bears in the Korean preofessional baseball league.

In 2003, he joined the Hyundai Unicorns after graduating from Youngnam University in Daegu. However, he didn't play any games since he joined the military service on December of that year.

In 2006, when he was discharged from the military, he joined the Doosan Bears as a trainee. At that time, he tried to practice and develop his skill. At last, The Doosan's Head coach Kim Kyung-Moon selected him and Lee tried to survive, not to lose the opportunity. As a result, he could settle down the major group of Bears.

In Summer Olympic Games 2008, Lee contributed to win the gold medal for his national team. In the team's first game of round-robin play against the United States, he hit the game-winning sacrifice fly to score Lee Taek-Keun in the bottom of the 9th inning.

His biggest advantage was to run fast. Therefore he made fifty-one steals in that season even though his team failed to join the post-season. Next year, he made forty-seven steals while he hit a homer and made a .316 hitting average. He can run to the third base if he hit a ball to the further course of a stadium. He can steal to the second or third base in any situation even a good pitcher marks tightly or a catcher throws a ball exactly. In addition, he can catch a flying ball which drops into the point in which any outfielder get hardly or miss.
