Lee Smith is a rugby league player who plays for the Leeds Rhinos and has also represented England.

Smith's position as a junior was fullback, but he has played the majority of his first-grade career on the wing.

He played in the 2008 Super League Grand Final victory over St Helens. Named at fullback as a replacement for injured Kiwi star Brent Webb, there were question marks over whether Smith would prove to be a weak link in the Rhinos side. However, he defied all his critics and produced an outstanding performance, scoring a try and making some vital plays in Leeds 24-16 win. He was awarded the Harry Sunderland Trophy as Man of the Match at the end of the game.cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/7642170.stm|title=2008 Grand Final|publisher=BBC|date=2008-10-04|accessdate=2008-10-05] Lee recently eloped with his secret girlfriend Lucy on the 6th October 2008.
