Tenorlee is an album by American jazz saxophonist Lee Konitz, released on the Choice label in 1978 and rereleased by Candid in 1996, with two bonus tracks.

Critical reception

Scott Yanow on AllMusic said that "Konitz explores ten superior standards from the swing era plus a brief unaccompanied workout... The relaxed, often lyrical, and slightly unpredictable interpretations are quite enjoyable".
