Vice-Admiral Fitzroy Henry Lee (2 January 1699 – 14 April 1750) was a Royal Navy officer and colonial administrator who served as Commodore Governor of the Colony of Newfoundland. Lee supposedly inspired the character "Hawser Trunnion" in Tobias Smollett's novel, The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle.
