The cathedral was used for the filming of ''[[The Da Vinci Code (film)#Location|The Da Vinci Code]]'' (based on [[The Da Vinci Code|the book of the same name]]).<ref name="BBCLincs">{{cite news | title = Lincolnshire's Da Vinci Code | date = 23 August 2008 | url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire/content/articles/2005/08/17/da_vinci_code_filming_in_lincoln_feature.shtml | work = BBC | access-date = 30 December 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140803130817/http://www.bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire/content/articles/2005/08/17/da_vinci_code_filming_in_lincoln_feature.shtml | archive-date = 3 August 2014 | url-status = live }}</ref> Filming took place mainly within the cloisters, and chapter house,<ref name="BBCLincs" /> of the cathedral, and remained a closed set.

To make the Lincoln chapter house appear similar to the Westminster chapter house, murals were painted on a special layer over the existing wall, and elsewhere polystyrene replicas of [[Isaac Newton]]'s tomb and other abbey monuments were set up.<ref name="BBCLincs" /> For a time these murals and replicas remained in the chapter house, as part of a Da Vinci Code exhibit for visitors, but in January 2008 they were all sold off in an auction to raise money for the cathedral.<ref name="BBCLincs" />

The cathedral also doubled as Westminster Abbey for the film ''[[Young Victoria]]'', filmed in September 2007,<ref name=BBC20080129>{{cite news|title=Cathedral auctions Da Vinci props|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/7215980.stm|work=BBC News|access-date=13 December 2011|date=29 January 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080201142210/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/7215980.stm|archive-date=1 February 2008|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Bates|first=Stephen|title=People|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/aug/28/uknews4.mainsection5|work=The Guardian|access-date=13 December 2011|date=28 August 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141005153438/http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/aug/28/uknews4.mainsection5|archive-date=5 October 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> and did again in June 2018 for the Netflix Shakespeare film ''[[The King (2019 film)|The King]]''.<ref name="The King">{{cite web|url=https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2018/06/the-king-arrives-to-film-at-lincoln-cathedral/|title=The King Netflix Movie filmed at Lincoln Cathedral|date=25 June 2018|work=The Lincolnite|access-date=25 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180627005455/https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2018/06/the-king-arrives-to-film-at-lincoln-cathedral/|archive-date=27 June 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

During 2022 the cathedral was also one of the locations for the 2023 [[Ridley Scott]] film ''[[Napoleon (2023 film)|Napoleon]]'', in which it serves both as [[Notre-Dame de Paris|Notre-Dame cathedral]] for the coronation scene and  [[Milan cathedral]] in a sequence shown within the extended director's cut of the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/news/article/958/napoleon-filming-set-to-start-soon|title=Napoleon filming set to start soon|date=March 2, 2022|publisher=Lincolnshire County Council|access-date=March 6, 2022|archive-date=March 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220303150044/https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/news/article/958/napoleon-filming-set-to-start-soon|url-status=live}}</ref>
