Jack Lees (1884 – 11 August 1940) was a British Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Belper in Derbyshire from 1929 to 1931.
Born in West Rainton in County Durham, Lees became a coal miner and joined the Northumberland Miners' Association, eventually becoming a full-time union official.[1]
He contested Belper unsuccessfully at the 1924 general election, losing by over 4,000 votes to the sitting Conservative Party MP Herbert Wragg. At the 1929 election he took the seat with a majority of 2,955, but at the 1931 general election Wragg retook the seat with a majority of nearly 8,000. He stood again at Belper in the 1935 general election but was again defeated. Lees did not stand for Parliament again.
