Burnley vs Lincoln City was an FA Cup Fifth Round tie, played on 18 February 2017 at Turf Moor, Burnley between Premier League Burnley and National League Lincoln City, who won the game 1–0. This was the first time a top division side lost to a non-league side since Norwich City's 1–0 loss to Luton in 2013. This was also the first time in 103 years that a non-league side reached the last 8 stage of the FA Cup (now the Quarter Finals or Sixth Round, then the Fourth Round) since Queens Park Rangers of the Southern Football League in 1914, when the Southern League ran parallel to the Football League as opposed to being a feeder to it. Lincoln City would go on to play Premier League Arsenal away at the Emirates Stadium in the quarter-finals, losing 5–0.
As a Premier League team, Burnley started in the Third Round where they were drawn away at fellow Premier League team Sunderland. They drew 0–0 at the Stadium of Light but won the replay at Turf Moor 2–0 due to goals from Sam Vokes and Andre Gray. In the fourth round they were drawn at home with Football League Championship team Bristol City, where they won 2–1 due to goals from Vokes and Steven Defour.
