Flints Pond (or Flint's Pond; also known as Sandy Pond) is a body of water in Lincoln, Massachusetts, United States. Named for Flint House, on the land of which it was situated, it is the town's major water supply, with Tower Road Well being the supplemental source.
The pond is located around 1.15 miles (1.85 km) north-northwest of Lincoln's town centre. The DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, built on the former estate of Julian de Cordova, sits on the southern shores of the pond. The pond is passed by State Route 2 around 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the north.
One of its outflows is Mill Brook, noted for its connection to the battles of Lexington and Concord.
