Belinda Lee (June 15, 1935 – March 12, 1961) was a British actress.
Born in England, Lee was signed to a film contract in 1954 by the Rank Studios after being seen performing as a student of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Often cast in demure roles in her early career, she was able to demonstrate her dramatic abilities, however she found more constant employment when she began to play "sexpot" roles. Typecast as one of several "sexy blondes" she was over compared unfavourably to the popular Diana Dors. Typical of these roles was a supporting part in the Benny Hill film Who Done It? (1956), however she also appeared in some American films during this period.
Married to the photographer Cornel Lucas from 1954 until 1959, it was after their divorce that Lee moved to Italy, where she continued playing voluptuous temptresses in Italian films.
She died in a car accident while vacationing, near San Bernardino, California.
