The 2016 United States presidential election in New York was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. New York voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote with the two major party's candidates claiming New York as their home state, the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.

Hillary Clinton carried New York with 59.01% of the vote, while Donald Trump received 36.52% of the vote, a 22.49% Democratic victory margin.

New York State remained a solid blue state in the 2016 election, although Hillary Clinton received a smaller vote share than President Obama had in 2012, while Donald Trump slightly improved upon Mitt Romney's performance. Still, despite being born and raised in New York, and long being associated with the state, Trump decisively lost the popular vote there making it the first time since 1968 in which a winning presidential candidate lost their home-state.
