Lee Konitz (Chicago, 13 de octubre de 1927) es un saxofonista alto y compositor estadounidense de jazz. Está considerado como una de las fuerza motores del Cool Jazz, aunque se ha aproximado también al bebop y a la vanguardia jazzística. Fue uno de los pocos saxofonistas que resistió la influencia de Charlie Parker en los años cincuenta.

Konitz, al igual que otros estudiantes del pianista y teórico Lennie Tristano, se ha caracterizado por la composición espontánea de líneas largas y melódicas con el interés rítmico derivado de los acentos impares o de agrupaciones de notas impares que sugieren la imposición de una marca de tiempo sobre otra.

Paul Desmond y, especialmente, Art Pepper fueron muy influidos por Konitz.

La relación de Konitz con el Cool Jazz de los años 1940s y 50s se materializó, por ejemplo, en su participación en el fundacional "Birth of the Cool" de Miles Davis, y en su obra con Lennie Tristano, del mismo periodo.

A lo largo de su extensa carrera, Konitz ha tocado con músicos de una gran variedad de estilos de jazz.
