Lee Harriss Roberts (born 1968) is the 13th chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill since January 2024. Before the chancellorship, he spent 30 years working in the financial industry.

He has faced both criticism and support from differing factions of the student body and faculty for his response to pro-Palestine protests on campus. Alumni and board members have praised his commitment to athletics, particularly the hiring of 8-time Super Bowl Champion Bill Belichick as the UNC head football coach.
