Peter John Lee (born 5 June 1947) is a retired South African Anglican bishop. He was bishop of the Diocese of Christ the King, Johannesburg.
Educated at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk, the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut and St. John's College, Cambridge, Lee was ordained in the Church of England and has worked in South Africa since 1976.[citation needed]
Lee worked with Archbishop Desmond Tutu as canon missioner of the Anglican diocese of Johannesburg before being elected as bishop of the new Diocese of Christ the King. He retired in June 2016. The electoral college whose job it was to elect a successor failed to do so. The synod of bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa appointed a successor at their meeting in 2016.[1]
