William Mack Lee (June 12, 1835 – November 6, 1932) was an American fraudster who claimed to have served as a cook and body servant to Confederate General Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War. He was referred to by The Roanoke News as "one of the best known colored men in the South" in 1921. His claims were refuted in a 1927 edition of Confederate Veteran.
