Datuk Lee Chong Wei ( 李宗伟); born October 21, 1982 in Georgetown, Penang is a professional badminton player from Malaysia. Lee won the silver medal in the 2008 Olympic Games, thus becoming the first Malaysian to reach the final of the mens singles event and ending Malaysias Olympic medal drought since the 1996 Games. This achievement also earned him the title Datuk, and a description by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak as a national hero.

As a singles player, Lee was ranked 1st worldwide for 199 consecutive weeks from August 21, 2008 to June 14, 2012. He is the only Malaysian shuttler to hold the ranking for more than two weeks.

Lee is one of the most accomplished Malaysian badminton players having won two All-England championships. However, he is still searching for his first Olympic Games, World Championship and Asian Games.
