The 2016 Copa Libertadores Finals were the two-legged final that decided the winner of the 2016 Copa Libertadores de América, the 57th edition of the Copa Libertadores de América, South America's premier international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

The finals were contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Ecuadorian team Independiente del Valle and Colombian team Atlético Nacional. The first leg was hosted by Independiente del Valle at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa in Quito on 20 July 2016, while the second leg was hosted by Atlético Nacional at Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellín on 27 July 2016. The winner earned the right to represent CONMEBOL at the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup, entering at the semifinal stage, and also to play against the 2016 Copa Sudamericana winners in the 2017 Recopa Sudamericana.

Atlético Nacional defeated Independiente del Valle 2–1 on aggregate to win their second Copa Libertadores title.

These finals were the first ones without either an Argentine or a Brazilian team since the 1991 edition between Paraguayan team Olimpia and Chilean team Colo-Colo.

Note: In all scores below, the score of the home team is given first.

The finals were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would not be used, and 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.
