The 1902 Lincoln Tigers football team represented Lincoln Institute—now known as Lincoln University—in Jefferson City, Missouri as an independent during the 1902 college football season. The Lincoln football team finished the season with a record of 2–1. The annual matchup against fellow HBCU of mid-Missouri George R. Smith College resulted in an 18–5 win in favor of Lincoln. The Tigers were named the best black football team in the country, perhaps recognition of an early national title.
