Lincoln Park is a city in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2020 census, Lincoln Park had a population of 40,245. Lincoln Park is the second most-densely populated municipality in the state after Hamtramck.

Lincoln Park contains Council Point Park, which dates back to 1763 when Chief Pontiac met with other tribal leaders along the banks of the Ecorse River to plot a rebellion against increasing European settlers, specifically those in nearby Fort Detroit. The Potawatomi eventually ceded the land to the French in 1776.
