Laetitia Corbin Lee (August 25, 1657 – October 6, 1706) was an American colonist. She was the daughter of Henry Corbin, one of the most powerful and influential political leaders in the Colony of Virginia. In 1674 she married the politician Richard Lee II, and joined the prominent Lee family of Virginia. The Maryland branch of the Lee family descends from her through her son, Philip Lee of Blenheim Plantation. Another of her sons, Thomas, built Stratford Hall, the future family seat of the Lees.
