Lincoln High School (shortened to Lincoln High, Lincoln, or L.H.S.) is a public high school in Seattle, Washington, part of the Seattle Public Schools district and named after Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.

The school was re-established as a comprehensive high school in the fall of 2019 after being closed in 1981 and comprehensively renovated in 2017-2019. The school re-opened with grades 9-10 but has now reached the full capacity of four grades. During the years when the high school was not operating, the school buildings were used to house public schools "in exile" while their own buildings underwent major renovations and as the North Seattle site for Cascadia Elementary, a selective public school, which has since relocated.
