Norman Edward "Norm" Lee (4 April 1920 – 3 April 2002) was an Australian politician.

He was born in Brisbane to James Henry Lee and Helena Hilda, née Lindner. He attended state school at Yeronga and became a grazier and civil engineering contractor. In 1964 he was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as the Liberal member for Yeronga in a by-election following the death of former Health Minister Winston Noble. In 1975 he was promoted to the front bench as Minister for Works and Housing, moving to Industry and Administrative Services in 1977. He was dismissed from the front bench in 1980. In 1983 he was involved in negotiations to defect to the National Party, but this did not eventuate. Lee retired from politics in 1989. He died in Brisbane in 2002.[1]
