Lee Martyn Naylor (born 19 March 1980) is an English professional footballer who is unattached, having last played for Derby County.

Naylor started his career with First Division side Wolverhampton Wanderers, joining the club in 1996. He made his debut the following year and soon established himself as the first choice left back. His first trophy came when Wolves won the 2003 Football League First Division play-off Final, gaining them promotion to the Premier League where he continued to play in the first team. Naylor moved to Scottish Premier League side Celtic in 2006 for a fee of £600,000 plus Charlie Mulgrew. Naylor quickly established himself as first choice left back for Celtic and was nominated for the 2007 SPFA Player of the Year award. During his time at Celtic Naylor won the Scottish Premier League twice in 2007 and 2008 as well as the Scottish Cup in 2007. Naylor moved to English Championship side Cardiff City in 2010 after his contract expired at Celtic.

Naylor represented England under-21s several times but despite being linked with the full national team, while at Celtic, he never received a call-up.
