Matt Lee is an Australian dancer and actor. He has starred in We Will Rock You, Rent, Grease, and Mary Poppins for which he won a Helpmann Award for Best Actor in a Musical. He was the motion capture principle for the movie Happy Feet. He has done choreography for Human Nature, Hilary Duff and Christine Anu. He was also a judge for Australia's So You Think You Can Dance.

Lee appeared at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in June 2014, performing a new show Swing on This together with Ben Mingay, Luke Kennedy, and Michael Falzon. Swing on This is a collection of classic swing songs reworked with a more contemporary style, as well as more recent popular music arranged for an 18 piece big band.

Lee started dancing at the age of six, and began his professional career at thirteen.

"I think I was just very lucky to have found what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life at a young age,"

During his acceptance speech at the 2011 Helpmann Awards, Lee claimed to have always wanted to sing like fellow nominee and Living National Treasure, Anthony Warlow.

The first international production of The Witches of Eastwick opened in Australia at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne, with Lee as Michael Spofford, and starring comedian Paul McDermott as Darryl van Horne, Marina Prior as Jane, Angela Toohey as Alexandra and Pippa Grandison as Sukie, with Sabrina Batshon as The Little Girl. The show began previews on 19 August 2002. Revisions were made, including new lyrics and the excision of one number, 'Loose Ends'. However, the show never found an audience and closed on 17 November 2002.
