La famille Lee des États-Unis d’Amérique est une famille politique importante d’un point de vue historique, originaire de Virginie, dont de nombreux membres éminents sont connus pour leur réussite dans la politique ou encore dans le domaine militaire. La théorie longuement défendue durant plus de deux-cents ans est qu’ils descendraient des « Lee » du comté de Shropshire en Angleterre. Bien que certains spécialistes et érudits du XXe siècle semblent discréditer cette affirmation, les recherches exhaustives du généalogiste soutiennent le lien avec les « Lee » du Shropshire.

Members of the family include Thomas Lee (1690–1750), a founder of the Ohio Company and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses; Francis Lightfoot Lee (1734–1797) and Richard Henry Lee (1732–1794), signers of the American Declaration of Independence, with Richard Lee also serving as one of Virginia's inaugural U.S. Senators; Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee (1756–1818), Lieutenant Colonel in the Continental Army and Governor of Virginia; Thomas Sim Lee (1745–1819), Governor of Maryland and lastly, and most famous, General-in-Chief Robert E.

Twelfth President Zachary Taylor (1784-1850, served 1849-1850), and ninth Chief Justice Edward Douglass White (1845-1921, served 1894-1921) were also descendants of Richard Lee I. Confederate President Jefferson Davis married Sarah Knox Taylor, daughter of Zachary Taylor. Most recently, family members have marked over two hundred years of political service in the United States, as Blair Lee III (1916-1985, served 1971-1979), a descendant of Richard Henry Lee, served as the second Lieutenant Governor of Maryland when the office was revived, from 1971–1979 and Acting Governor of Maryland from 1977–1979.
