Henry Fiennes Pelham-Clinton, Earl of Lincoln (5 November 1750 – 18 October 1778) was a British politician who sat in theHouse of Commons of Great Britain from 1772 to 1778, representing the constituencies ofAldborough andNottinghamshire.^[1]

Lincoln was the second son of the2nd Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne and became heir to his father on the death of his elder brother in 1752. On his Grand Tour to Italy he lost gambling in December 1771 in Florence 12.000 Pounds Sterling to the Zannowich-Brothers.^[2] He was educated atEton and was elected asTory MP forAldborough in 1772 and forNottinghamshire in 1774.

He inherited his family home at22 Arlington Street inSt. James's, a district of theCity of Westminster in central London, in 1774 and lived there until his death.^[3]

On 21 May 1775, he married Frances Seymour-Conway (4 December 1751 – 11 November 1820), a daughter of the1st Marquess of Hertford. They had two children:
