Richard Taehoon Lee is a Canadian professional golfer who plays on the Korean Tour. He played in the 2007 U.S. Open at the age of sixteen. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is now a resident of Chandler, Arizona. His father Jeff played professional tournament golf in South Korea and is now a teaching professional.

In 2006, at the age of 15, Lee was the runner-up to Philip Francis at the U.S. Junior Amateur. The result gave him an exemption to sectional qualifying for the U.S. Open the following year. Lee finished as runner-up at his qualifier to earn entry to the 2007 U.S. Open, becoming the second youngest golfer in the 107 year history of the tournament. However, he did not finish the tournament as he injured his wrist in the second round. He finished at 20 over, and turned professional at the conclusion of the tournament.

Lee played on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2011, but could not retain his card. In 2013, he finished runner-up at qualifying school for both the Asian Tour and the OneAsia Tour, signalling his intention to play full-time on that continent. In March 2014, Lee won for the first time as a professional on the Asian Tour at the Solaire Open with a one shot victory, having been a runner-up the previous year. In September 2017 he had his second win on the Asian Tour, the Shinhan Donghae Open, an event co-sanctioned with the Korean Tour. A final round 66 gave him a one shot victory over Gavin Green. In April 2019 Lee won again on the Korean Tour, in the DB Insurance Promy Open.
