Custos Rotulorum of Lincolnshire

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

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 for Holland, Sir for Kesteven, and Sir Thomas Heneage for Lindsey. This arrangement was discontinued with the appointment of a single custos for all Lincolnshire in 1549.
