Joseph William D. Lees (q1 1892 – 26 July 1933) was an English footballer who scored 31 goals from 92 appearances in the Football League playing for Barnsley, Rotherham County, Lincoln City and Halifax Town. He was a member of Rotherham County's team in their first Football League match, a 2–0 home win against Nottingham Forest on 30 August 1919.
