Lord-Lieutenant of Lincolnshire

{{Short description|British monarch's personal representative in Lincolnshire}}

{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}}

The Lord-Lieutenant of Lincolnshire ({{IPAc-en|UK|l|ɛ|f|ˈ|t|ɛ|n|ə|n|t}}) is the British monarch's personal representative in the county of Lincolnshire. Historically, the lord-lieutenant was responsible for organising the county's militia. In 1871, the lord-lieutenant's responsibility over the local militia was removed. However, it was not until 1921 that they formally lost the right to call upon able-bodied men to fight when needed. Since 1660, all lord-lieutenants have also been Custos Rotulorum of Lincolnshire.

The lord-lieutenancy is now an honorary titular position, usually awarded to a retired notable person in the county. Until 1975, this had been awarded to a peer connected to the county.
