The Lincoln LS was an upper mid-range sedan with a sporty twist and produced by the US automobile manufacturer Lincoln from 1999 to 2006.

The Lincoln LS6 (V6 engine) and LS8 (V8 engine) should establish the US prestige brand Lincoln, which belongs to the Ford Group, on the European market and close the gap between the core brand Ford and the luxury brand Jaguar . An introduction in Europe as a successor to the Ford Scorpio was abandoned at the last moment in favor of the Jaguar subsidiary and the almost identical S-Type . The Lincoln LS shares the DEW98 platform with the Jaguar S-Type . The AJ-V8 engine developed by Jaguar is also installed in the LS8 .
