Lee James Hollis (born 27 March 1986 in Lanark, Scotland) is a Scottish footballer who most recently played as a goalkeeper for Heart of Midlothian. He started his career at Airdrie United before signing for Lanarkshire derby rivals Motherwell.
Hollis started his career at Airdrie United and in June 2007, signed a new contract for the next season and twelve month later, signed another new deal for the next season. On 17 January 2009, Hollis made his debut for the club, in a 1–1 draw against Dunfermline Athletic. Then, on 18 June 2009, Hollis signed another new deal for the next season.
Hollis had to wait until the latter months of the 2009–10 season for his chance. However, he could not prevent a First Division play-off semi-final defeat, meaning relegation to the second division. Hollis was then released, along with the rest of the squad, as Airdrie converted to part-time.
Hollis signed for Airdrie's Lanarkshire rivals Motherwell in 2010, and was in the squad for all of their Europa League games in 2010. He was promoted to second-choice keeper behind Darren Randolph after the departure of Michael Fraser in the early weeks of the 2010–11 season.
Hollis made his Motherwell debut in a 4–0 defeat to Celtic in the last match of the season. Despite the scoreline, he received praise for his performance in the match and made several good saves which kept the score down. Hollis was on the bench for Motherwell's 3–0 Scottish Cup Final defeat against Celtic.
