Sir James George Lee Steere KCMG (4 July 1830 – 1 December 1903) was a Western Australian politician and a prominent member of the six hungry families.

[1] He was the third of six sons of Lee Steere of Jayes, who was a leading resident and landed proprietor in the county (including High Sheriff in 1848[2]), and his wife Anne, née Watson.

[3] Early in 1860, he emigrated to Western Australia and leased 100,000 acres (400 km²) of land in the southern part of the colony.

A good constitutional authority and an able Speaker, he was held in great respect by all parties in the house and by the public generally.

[7] Artist Florence Fuller posthumously painted his portrait, which was acquired by the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
