Lee Percy (born February 10, 1963) is an American film editor. At the 61st Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, he received two Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Limited Series or Movie nominations for editing the 2009 television films ''Taking Chance'' and ''Grey Gardens'', winning for the former.

A native of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Percy initially trained to be an actor at Juilliard before switching focus to editing.

Percy made his directorial debut on the short film ''Dreaming American''.

Percy has been a Creative Adviser at the Sundance Directors Lab as well as a mentor at the IFP. Provided by Wikipedia
