Lee Fu-tien (Chinese: 李復甸) is a Taiwanese lawyer and politician.
Lee studied law at Chinese Culture University and Soochow University.
When Diane Lee was assaulted by Lo Fu-chu in March 2001, she hired Lee Fu-tien to represent her in court. In January 2004, he was one of six Taiwanese lawyers selected by the Straits Exchange Foundation to represent taishang who had been accused of spying in China. By Chinese law, Taiwanese defendants must be represented by Chinese lawyers, and as such, the legal professionals from Taiwan were asked to serve as liaisons between the defendants and their Chinese lawyers. Lee was named a legislative candidate via the People First Party party list in October 2004, but was not elected. He then taught law at Chinese Culture University and represented James Soong in 2006, who charged Chen Shui-bian with slander.
Upon the death of Nelson Ku in January 2007, Lee was nominated to finish Ku's term in office. After Taipei County Council member Wu Shan-jeou was shot and killed, Lee argued for amendments to the Statute Regulating Firearms, Ammunition, Knives and Other Deadly Weapons, favoring harsher penalties. During Ma Ying-jeou's 2007 corruption case, Lee petitioned the Ministry of Justice to rule on the status of special allowance funds Ma was alleged to have used as income.
Lee was later appointed to the Control Yuan and began a formal examination of corruption charges against Chen Shui-bian. In 2009, the agency found that two Special Investigation Panel investigators had contacted Chen Shui-bian as the corruption probe continued. The first vote to impeach State Public Prosecutor-General Chen Tsung-ming in relation to the Chen Shui-bian case was held in January 2010, and failed. Three weeks later, a second vote on the impeachment of Chen Tsung-ming passed, and Chen subsequently resigned his post.
