Roy Halee is an American record producer and engineer, best known for working with Simon and Garfunkel, both as a group and for their solo projects.

He grew up on Long Island, New York. His father, also named Roy Halee, provided the singing voice for Mighty Mouse in late 1940s Terrytoons cartoons, as well as the voices of Heckle and Jeckle from 1951 through 1961.

Halee started working as a cameraman for CBS Television in the 1950s. He was also studying to be a classical trumpet player.

He became an audio engineer for CBS Television, working on many shows and the top rated The $64,000 Question television quiz show.

As television shows moved to the West Coast, he lost his job in a union dispute and layoff at CBS Television. He went to work for Columbia Records in New York as an editor and later as a studio engineer, working with Bob Dylan, including the first long-format radio single, "Like a Rolling Stone".

After working with the Lovin' Spoonful, the Dave Clark Five and the Yardbirds, he began his partnership with Simon and Garfunkel. He has also worked with other groups such as the Byrds, Journey (on their first album Journey), Willie Nile, Laura Nyro, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and Blue Angel. Halee was named to the TEC Awards Hall of Fame in 2001.
