Turkvision Song Contest 2016 (Turkish: Türkvizyon Şarkı Yarışması 2016) would have been the fourth edition of Turkvision Song Contest, and was scheduled to take place at the Yahya Kemal Beyatli Cultural Centre, in Istanbul, Turkey; and organised by TMB TV and Azad Azerbaijan TV.
Twenty-six Turkic regions, which have either a large Turkic population or a widely spoken Turkic language, had confirmed their participation in the contest. Dagestan, Kumyk, Latvia, Moldova, Netherlands, Poland, Stavropol Krai and Sweden were expected to be making their debut, whilst Altai Republic, Bashkortostan, Crimea, Kabardino-Balkaria, Moscow, Tatarstan, Tuva, and Yakutia were going to be returning after a one-year absence. Karachay-Cherkessia had chosen not to return to the contest and would no longer be in joint-participation with Kabardino-Balkaria, meaning the latter would have been participating as a single region. Khakassia also initially planned to return to the contest and had selected their participant, but later withdrew from competing.
