Leo Christopher "Lee" Magee (born Leopold Christopher Hoernschemeyer; June 4, 1889 – March 14, 1966) was an American Major League Baseball player and manager between 1911 and 1919. While he played the majority of his professional games in the outfield, he also played the infield frequently. In 1915, he was a player/manager for the Brooklyn Tip-Tops of the Federal League for most of the season. The team was 53–64 under his management.
Magee was later banned from baseball for his ties to gamblers and match fixing.
