State Highway 16 (SH-16 or OK-16) is a state highway in Oklahoma. It runs in an irregular 99.2-mile west-to-east pattern through the northeastern part of the state, running from SH-33 at Drumright to SH-51 at Wagoner. There are no letter-suffixed spur highways branching from SH-16.
SH-16 was established in 1936 as a gravel highway running between Bristow at its western end and Beggs at its eastern end. Since then, the highway has been gradually extended to both the east and the west, finally reaching its present-day extent in 1965.
SH-16 begins at SH-33 on the east side of Drumright, in western Creek County. From there, it travels six miles (10 km) south to the town of Shamrock, then 13 miles (21 km) roughly southeasterly to the city of Bristow.
SH-16 briefly overlaps SH-48 and SH-66 through Bristow. On the south side of Bristow, SH-16 heads east, then south, 10 miles (16 km) to the town of Slick, then continues another 12 miles (19 km) east to Beggs, where it junctions with U.S. Route 75 Alternate.
