Lee Balkin (born June 7, 1961) is a retired American high jumper.

His personal best jump is 2.33 metres, achieved in July 1987 in Durham.

On the outset that might not sound impressive, but the previous record was held by Dwight Stones, who was already a double Olympic medalist and the National High School Record holder.

[2] Balkin later attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he again surpassed Stones and is the number two high jumper on the school's top ten list.
