Lincoln Roberts (born September 4, 1974 in Tobago) is a former West Indian cricketer who played 1 Test for West Indies and 51 first class games for Trinidad and Tobago.

Roberts made his first class debut in 1996 after impressive one day form. It took until 1999 for him to score his maiden first class century, a month later he made his Test debut against Australia despite a first class average of 22. He made a seven ball duck but he did make history in becoming the first Tobagan to play Test cricket.

This was to be his only Test match but he continued to appear for Trinidad and Tobago on a regular basis. In 2003 despite averaging in the mid thirties he was released and his cricket career ended at the age of 29.
