Lincoln station is a light rail facility located in Lone Tree, Colorado, United States, managed by the Regional Transportation District (RTD). It operates on the E and R Lines and commenced service on November 17, 2006. The station is home to the public artwork Sun Stream, created by Ray King and unveiled in 2006.

When the R Line began service on February 24, 2017, Lincoln served as its endpoint. It also functioned as the terminus for the Southeast Corridor until the Southeast Light Rail Extension introduced three additional stations in Lone Tree on May 17, 2019. Presently, the R Line concludes at Lincoln station due to limited passenger numbers at Sky Ridge, Lone Tree City Center, and RidgeGate Parkway stations, which are located in developing regions with ridership still affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport.
