Lee John Holmes (born 28 September 1955) is an English retired football forward who appeared in the Football League for Brentford. He later played in the highest echelons of non-league football for Enfield, Wealdstone and Dagenham.
A forward, Holmes began his career in the academy at Division One side West Ham United. He was released without making a senior appearance and dropped into non-league football to sign for Athenian League side Haringey Borough, remaining with the club until August 1979.
Holmes got his chance in league football when he signed for Division Three side Brentford on a part-time contract in August 1979. He had earlier impressed manager Bill Dodgin Jr. with his performances in a number of reserve team matches. He scored on his debut for the club in a League Cup first round defeat to Southend United and went on to score seven goals in 30 appearances during the 1979–80 season. His value to the team was such that manager Bill Dodgin offered Holmes a full-time contract, which he declined and departed Griffin Park.
