Terence "Terry" Lees (born 30 June 1952) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke City, Crewe Alexandra, Port Vale, Birmingham City, Newport County and Scunthorpe United, in the North American Soccer League for San Jose Earthquakes, and in the Eredivisie for Sparta Rotterdam, Roda JC Kerkrade and DS'79.
Lees was born in Stoke-on-Trent, and joined local club Stoke City as an apprentice in 1968, turning professional in July 1969. He made his debut during the 1969–70 season, but played infrequently throughout his six seasons with the "Potters". He also spent time on loan at South African Cape Town City, and, rather closer to home, with Crewe Alexandra. In 1975 Lees played 16 games and scored one goal for the San Jose Earthquakes in the North American Soccer League.
On his return to England, Port Vale paid local rivals Stoke City £3,000 for his services in August 1975. He played 47 games over all competitions for the "Valiants", which made him one of the few players to have played for all three local clubs (Stoke, Vale and Crewe). In August 1976 he was sold on to Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam for £25,000. Lees played 30 games for Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie, and then spent two seasons with fellow top-flight club Roda JC Kerkrade.
