Lee Jeong-eun (Korean이정은; Hanja李晶恩; born 28 May 1996) is a South Korean professional golfer who currently plays on the LPGA Tour and the LPGA of Korea Tour. For scoring purposes, she is called Jeongeun Lee6 to differentiate herself from other Korean LPGA golfers with that name,[1] including the older Jeongeun Lee5.

In 2019, Lee won her first major championship at the U.S. Women's Open, and was named the 2019 LPGA Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year.[2]
