Lee Harper (born October 30, 1971) is an English football goalkeeper, currently playing for Milton Keynes Dons.
Harper started his career at non-league Sittingbourne, before being signed by Arsenal in 1994. He was third-choice keeper at the club, behind Vince Bartram and David Seaman, and only made one first-team appearance for the Highbury side, in a 2-0 Premiership win over Southampton on March 15, 1997. In the summer of 1997 he moved to Queens Park Rangers, and in four seasons made 118 league appearances. He moved to Walsall in 2001 after Rangers were relegated to the Second Division, but made only three appearances in his single season there. He moved to Northampton Town in 2002 and became first-choice goalkeeper there, recording over 150 league appearances as of 2006.
In the 2006-07 season, he moved on loan to Milton Keynes Dons, where he helped to repair the team's poor defending record, with a significant reduction in goals conceded. This successful loan spell resulted in Harper signing a permanent deal in the January 2007 transfer window.
