The 2016 Norfolk Island local election was held on 28 May 2016 to elect the Norfolk Island Regional Council, the local government body of Norfolk Island.

This was the first election for the council since the Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly was abolished in 2015 as part of the removal of Norfolk Island's semi-self-governing status.[1]

Following the election, Robin Adams was elected mayor through a vote of councillors at the formal establishment of the council on 1 July 2016.
