Lincoln Ellsworth (May 12, 1880 - May 26, 1951) was a U.S. explorer.
He was a sponsor for Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. Along with Amundsen, Ellsworth is credited as being the first people to have sighted the Geographic North Pole. They sighted the pole in 1926 from the airship Norge, designed and piloted by the Italian Umberto Nobile, in a flight from Svalbard to Alaska.
