USS President Lincoln was a troop transport in the United States Navy during World War I.

Formerly the German steamer President Lincoln of the Hamburg-American Line, it was built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, being completed in 1907.

Seized in New York harbor in 1917, it was turned over to the Shipping Board and transferred to the Navy for operation as a troop transport.

Transporting approximately 23,000 American troops to Brest and St. Nazaire, four cycles were completed without incident: October–November 1917, December 1917 - January 1918, February–March, and March–May.
