The 2016 German Darts Championship is the tenth of ten European Tour events on the 2016 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament takes place at Halle 39 in Hildesheim, Germany, between 14–16 October. It featured a field of 48 players and £115,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.
Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion, but he lost in the third round to Daryl Gurney. Alan Norris won the title, defeating Jelle Klaasen 6–5 in the final, winning him his first PDC European Tour title.
