Martin Lee (born Martin Barnes, 26 November 1946 – 29 September 2024) was an English singer-songwriter, best known as a member of the pop group Brotherhood of Man.[1]

Lee was brought into Brotherhood of Man along with Lee Sheriden, Sandra Stevens, and Nicky Stevens by band manager Tony Hiller in 1972, when its original line up split up to pursue different music careers. The new version won the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 with their song "Save Your Kisses For Me".

As well as guitarist, Lee was also the main lead vocalist for the group. He married Brotherhood of Man member Sandra Stevens.
