Lincoln and Niagara was a federal electoral district in Ontario, represented in the House of Commons from 1883 to 1904. It was created in 1883 from parts of the Lincoln and Niagara ridings. The riding initially included the town and township of Niagara, the city of St. Catharines, the townships of Grantham, Clinton and Louth, and the villages of Beamsville, Merritton and Port Dalhousie. In 1892, the townships of Pelham and Gainsborough were added, transferred from the defunct electoral district of Monck. The electoral district was abolished in 1903 and its areas were redistributed between Lincoln and Welland ridings. There were electoral events: the resignation of Mr. Rykert on 2 May 1890, and an election being declared void on 16 November 1891.
