Ocean and Lee is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro K Ingleside line, located between the Westwood Park and Ingleside neighborhoods of San Francisco, California. The stop consists of two side platforms, with the eastbound (outbound) platform located on Ocean Avenue west of the intersection with Lee Street, and vice versa. It originally opened in 1895 on the United Railroads 12 line; K Ingleside service began in 1945.

The private Market Street Railway opened a branch - built in just six days - of its Mission Street line along Ocean Avenue to Victoria Street on December 4, 1895 to serve the new Ingleside Racetrack. The line was extended to the Ingleside House (where Ocean Avenue now meets Junipero Serra Boulevard) shortly thereafter. The 1906 earthquake damaged many cable car and streetcar lines; the URR resumed service on the Ocean Avenue (12) line on May 6, 1906.

On November 25, 1918, the city and the struggling URR signed the "Parkside Agreements", which allowed Muni streetcars to use URR trackage on Junipero Serra Boulevard, Ocean Avenue, and Taraval Street, in exchange for a cash payment and shared maintenance costs. The K Ingleside line was extended south on Junipero Serra Boulevard and east on Ocean to Ocean and Miramar on February 21, 1919. Miramar was the terminus of the line until May 18, 1919, when it was extended east on Ocean Avene and south on Brighton Avenue to Grafton Avenue.

The city purchased the private company (renamed Market Street Railway in 1921) in 1944; route 12 service was removed from Ocean Avenue on April 8, 1945, leaving just the K Ingleside. On April 8, 1945, route 12 service was removed from Ocean Avenue, while every other K Ingleside car was extended on Ocean Avenue and Onondaga Street to Mission Street to provide a direction connection to route 14. In 1952, Muni constructed a loop for the K with a separate busway for the 12 (converted to bus in 1948) on city property north of Ocean Avenue and west of Phelan Avenue, adjacent to the then-new City College. The Brighton Avenue trackage was retired and replaced with the new Phelan Loop on May 18, 1952; the alternate service to Mission Street was cut back to the loop on October 10, 1952.
