This is a list of people who have served as Custos Rotulorum of Lincolnshire.

Contents

At the inception of the office (bef. 1544), a custos rotulorum was appointed for each of the three Parts of Lincolnshire. By 1554 these were Richard Ogle for Holland, Sir Richard Hussey for Kesteven, and Sir Thomas Heneage for Lindsey. This arrangement was discontinued with the appointment of a single custos for all Lincolnshire in 1549.
