Lee McGeorge Durrell (born September 7 1949) is a naturalist, author, zookeeper and television presenter, best known for her work at the Jersey Zoological Park in the British Channel Island of Jersey with her late husband Gerald Durrell, and for co-authoring books with him.

Lee was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and showed an interest in wildlife as a child.

She studied philosophy at Bryn Mawr College in Philadelphia before enrolling in 1971 on a graduate programme at Duke University in North Carolina, to study animal behaviour. She conducted research for her Ph.D. on the calls of mammals and birds in Madagascar.

During that time, she met Gerald, when he gave a lecture at Duke University. When Lee moved to Jersey she became involved with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, of which she is now Honorary Director.
