Fred J. Lincoln (January 19, 1936 – January 16, 2013) was an American director, producer, screenwriter, actor, editor, and cinematographer of pornographic films.

Born as Fred Piantadosi, Lincoln grew up in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City. His career in adult film and video was prolific; his filmography at the Internet Movie Database credits him as the director of 310 films, the producer of 42, and as an actor in 64 films. In 1984, Lincoln won the Critics' Adult Film Award as Best Director for his film, Go for It.

His credits in mainstream cinema are limited, although he did play the role of Weasel Podowski in Wes Craven's 1972 horror film, The Last House on the Left. He contributed to its DVD commentary track with costars David Hess and Marc Sheffler.

Lincoln is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, and the XRCO Hall of Fame.

Lincoln succeeded Larry Levinson as the owner of the 1970s and 1980s New York City sex club Plato's Retreat.

Lincoln was married several times, most notably to pornographic director Patti Rhodes-Lincoln and former pornographic actress Tiffany Clark.

At one point, Lincoln lived in Ventura, California, in an apartment adjacent to pornographic actress Erica Boyer.
