Lee Island is an island off the Mawson coast of the east Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It is located immediately west of Teyssier Island in Holme Bay .

Aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 were used by Norwegian cartographers to map the island. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named them after Reginald Thomas Lee (1922–2012), a diesel generator set mechanic at the nearby Mawson station in 1957.
