Lee Scott Lingamfelter (born March 27, 1951) is an American politician, soldier, and writer who served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for the 31st district in Fauquier and Prince William counties from 2002 to 2018. A member of the Republican Party, Lingamfelter ran for re-election in 2017, but lost to Democrat Elizabeth Guzmán. Prior to his election, from 1973 to 2001, Lingamfelter was an officer in the United States Army, reaching the rank of Colonel.
After retiring from politics, Lingamfelter began writing about his military endeavors. In 2020, Lingamfelter published his first book, Desert Redleg: Artillery Warfare in the First Gulf War, describing the experience of the First Gulf War through the eyes of a Field Artillery redleg in the 1st Infantry Division Artillery (DIVARTY). He addressed the question of whether the United States "got the job done" in its first sustained Middle Eastern conflict. Lingamfelter authored a second book in 2023 about the U.S. role in UN Middle East peacekeeping.
