The Lincoln Handicap is a flat horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1 mile (1,609 metres) at Doncaster Racecourse in late March or early April.
It was first run in 1858 at Lincoln Racecourse, where it was run as the Lincolnshire Handicap. Following the closure of its original venue the race moved to Doncaster in 1965, since when it has been known by its present shortened title. It is the first major handicap race of the British flat racing season.
