Virginia Lee (born 6 April 1965) is an Australian former rower. She was a four-time national champion, a 1992 world champion, a dual Olympian and an Olympic bronze medallist who competed in both sweep oared and sculling events in the lightweight division.
Lee was born in Sydney, Australia. Her senior rowing was from the Mosman Rowing Club in Sydney.[1]
On eight occasions from 1986 to 1996 she represented New South Wales, racing for the Women's Lightweight Four Championship (the Victoria Cup) at the Australian Rowing Championships. Her crews won the championship in 1995 and 1996. They crossed the line first in 1988 but were disqualified for a doping infringement.[2]
In 1995 and again in 2000 Lee won the Australian national lightweight single sculls title.[3]
