The Lincoln Continental is a series of luxury cars produced by Lincoln, a division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company. First introduced in 1939 as a coachbuilt convertible for Edsel Ford, the Continental nameplate has been in use by Lincoln across ten generations of vehicles for various times over nearly 80 years. The Continental nameplate is derived from the original 1939 convertible, intended to adapt European "continental" exterior styling elements to the body and chassis of the Lincoln-Zephyr.

Following its launch, the Lincoln Continental would become the progenitor of an entirely new automotive segment, the personal luxury car. Following World War II, the segment evolved into coupes and convertibles larger than sports cars and grand touring cars with an emphasis on luxury and style over handling. From 1956 to 1957, the Continental nameplate also saw use in the short-lived Continental Division, marketing the Continental Mark II as the flagship of Ford Motor Company from 1956 and 1957; Lincoln revived the Continental Mark series in 1969 as a successor.

In the Lincoln model line, the Continental has served several roles, ranging from the flagship of the Lincoln line in addition to its base-trim sedan; from 1961 to 1976, the Lincoln Continental was the sole nameplate sold by the division. Through its 51-year production run, the Continental has been produced in two-door and four-door sedans, hardtops, and convertibles. Along with the model being the final American factory-produced vehicle with a V12 engine (in 1948), the Lincoln Continental is the final example produced as a four-door convertible (in 1967); the Lincoln Continental was the final model line to undergo downsizing.

Alongside the suspension of automobile production throughout World War II, the Lincoln Continental nameplate has gone on hiatus twice. In 1981, the model was renamed Town Car and then a new redesigned Continental joined the lineup for 1982. From 2003 to 2016, the Continental was also absent from the Lincoln line as well. Initially discontinued in favor of the Lincoln LS and Lincoln Town Car, the 2009-2016 Lincoln MKS effectively replaced all three sedans.

For the 2017 model year, Lincoln marked the return of the Lincoln Continental nameplate with an all-new flagship sedan, replacing the Lincoln MKS; the introduction also marks the phasing out of the Lincoln "MK" branding. Making its debut as a concept car at the 2015 New York Auto Show, the 2017 Lincoln Continental is a four-door sedan based on an extended-wheelbase version of the Ford CD4 platform shared with the seventh-generation Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKZ.
