Lee Tae-ho (; ; born January 29, 1961) is a South Korean former professional footballer who played as a forward. He spent his entire career playing for the Daewoo Royals. In the history of the FIFA World Cup, he was the first player to be blind in one eye.

International career

Before starting his professional career, he was the first South Korean to score at the FIFA World Youth Championship. His goal came against Canada at the 1979 tournament. Afterwards, he was called the "Korean Gerd Müller" for his scoring ability. He contributed to South Korea's gold medal at the 1986 Asian Games. During a K League match against POSCO Atoms in 1987, his right eye was impaired after being injured by Nam Ki-young's foot. However, his blindness was not enough to stop his performance. He became the top goalscorer at the 1988 AFC Asian Cup and participated at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
