The three-time Premier League champion scored 177 goals during his time at West Ham United, Chelsea and Manchester City, the most by any midfielder in the competition’s history.
He is one of the six players on a 23-man shortlist to receive the most combined votes from the public and the Premier League panel, the League said.
Three further inductees will be announced over the next couple of days on the Premier League’s digital channels.
Lampard helped Chelsea win their first-ever Premier League title under Jose Mourinho in 2005 and would go on to lift that same title two more times at Stamford Bridge.
