Gordon Mee (13 May 1913 – 9 January 1975) was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion.

Mee was born in 1913 in Belper, Derbyshire. He played football for the Pottery Wesleyans club in the town before joining Matlock Town. After a trial, he turned professional with Brighton & Hove Albion of the Football League Third Division South in January 1935. He never became first choice, but was a reliable backup for the rest of the decade. He was a police reservist during the war, and spent the first post-war season with Watford, appearing in the 1945–46 FA Cup. He died in Hove, Sussex, in 1975 at the age of 61.
