The 2016 Tour de Romandie was a road cycling stage race that took place in the Romandie region of Switzerland between 26 April and 1 May 2016. It was the 70th edition of the Tour de Romandie cycling stage race and the 14th event in the 2016 UCI World Tour. The defending champion was Team Katusha's Ilnur Zakarin.
The race included six stages. The first of these is a prologue individual time trial; the five stages that follow include two summit finishes and another, hilly time trial.
As the Tour de Romandie is a UCI World Tour event, all eighteen UCI Pro Teams were invited automatically and obliged to enter a team into the race. Other squads will also be given wildcard places into the race.
