Homenaje a Dos Leyendas (2016) (Spanish for "Homage to Two Legends") was a major professional wrestling event produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and took place on March 18, 2016. The show took place in Arena México, Mexico City, Mexico, CMLL's home venue. The 2016 event was the 22nd event in the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas series of shows. The event paid homage to CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth, who is always honored at Dos Leyendas, and also paid homage to a second "legend" of Lucha libre, Lizmark. The double main event of the show was two Lucha de Apuestas, hair vs. hair matches. The first between Máximo Sexy and Rush and the second between Volador Jr. and Negro Casas.

Since 1996 the Mexican wrestling company Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"; CMLL) has held a show in March each year to commemorate the passing of CMLL founder Salvador Lutteroth who died in March 1987. For the first three years the show paid homage to Lutteroth himself, from 1999 through 2004 the show paid homage to Lutteroth and El Santo, Mexico's most famous wrestler ever and from 2005 forward the show has paid homage to Lutteroth and a different leyenda ("Legend") each year, celebrating the career and accomplishments of past CMLL stars. Originally billed as Homenaje a Salvador Lutteroth, it has been held under the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to two legends") since 1999 and is the only show outside of CMLL's Anniversary shows that CMLL has presented every year since its inception. All Homenaje a Dos Leyendas shows have been held in Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico which is CMLL's main venue, its "home". Traditionally CMLL holds their major events on Friday Nights, which means the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas shows replace their regularly scheduled Super Viernes show. The 2016 show will be the 21st overall Homenaje a Dos Leyendas show.
