The 2016 Rhineland-Palatinate state election was held on 13 March 2016 to elect the members of the Landtag of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The incumbent coalition government of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and The Greens led by Minister-President Malu Dreyer was defeated.

The SPD remained the largest party, and formed a "traffic light coalition" with the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and The Greens.

Dreyer was subsequently re-elected as Minister-President.
