Oliver Robert Lee (born 11 July 1991) is an English former professional footballer and coach who played as a midfielder. He is currently Under 21's Coach at Norwich City.
Lee started his career as a youth player with West Ham United, with whom he turned professional in 2009. He made his debut in the Football League during the first of two loan spells at Dagenham & Redbridge in 2011, and also played on loan to League Two club Gillingham in 2012. He never made a senior appearance for West Ham, and moved on to Barnet in July 2012. After nine months and thirteen appearances, he signed for Championship club Birmingham City on loan. Despite not having played first-team football for Birmingham, the loan was converted to a permanent transfer in May 2013. He played 20 matches in 2013–14 but none the following season, and after a spell on loan at League Two Plymouth Argyle in 2015, he was released. In August 2015, Lee signed for League Two club Luton Town on a short-term contract, which was later extended until the end of 2016–17.
