The 2016 United States presidential election in Rhode Island took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Rhode Island voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote.

On April 26, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Rhode Island voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Republican parties' respective nominees for President. Registered members of each party voted only in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote.

In the 2012 election, Mitt Romney won only three towns in Rhode Island. Donald Trump won 14 towns and even narrowly flipped Kent County, making this the first time a Republican has won a county in the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Five candidates appeared on the Democratic presidential primary ballot:
