Lincoln Davenport Chafee (/ˈtʃeɪfiː/ CHAY-fee; born March 26, 1953) is an American politician who served as the 74th governor of Rhode Island from 2011 to 2015 and as United States Senator from 1999 to 2007. Previously, he served as mayor of Warwick, Rhode Island from 1993 to 1999. A member of the Libertarian Party since 2019, he previously was a Republican until 2007, an independent from 2007 to 2013, and a Democrat from 2013 to 2019. He is the last non-Democrat to hold statewide or Congressional office in Rhode Island.

The son of Republican politician John Chafee, who was the 66th Governor of Rhode Island, the United States Secretary of the Navy, and a U.S. Senator from Rhode Island, the younger Chafee first elected office was as a member of the Warwick City Council in 1985. After the elder Chafee died in 1999, the younger Chafee was appointed to fill his father's seat in the U.S. Senate to which he won a full term in 2000.
