David Lee (born 26 November 1969 in Bristol) is a retired English footballer.

A central defender, Lee spent most of his career at Chelsea, whom he joined as a junior. He made his club debut against Leicester City, scoring in a 2-1 win. In ten years with Chelsea, Lee made 196 appearances, but struggled to cement a regular place in the starting line-up. As a result, his time with Chelsea was punctuated by brief loan spells with Reading, Plymouth Argyle, Portsmouth and Sheffield United.

Seeking regular football, Lee joined Bristol Rovers on a free transfer in 1998 and later had spells at Crystal Palace, Exeter City, Parramatta Power, Havant & Waterlooville and Forest Green Rovers. He finished his career playing with his mentor David Lawrence in the Bristol leagues.

David is now a full time development coach with Bristol City FC overseeing the 18-21yr olds.
