The 2016 Waterford Senior Football Championship was the 129th edition of the Waterford GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded clubs in County Waterford, Ireland. The tournament consists of 12 teams, with the winner going on to represent Waterford in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a seeded group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
Stradbally were the defending champions after they defeated Abbeyside/Ballinacourty in the 2015 final, however, they relinquished their crown when Ballincourty defeated them at the semi-final stage.
This was Ballinameela's return to the senior grade.
On 6 November 2016, The Nire claimed their 8th S.F.C. title when defeating Ballinacourty 1-17 to 0-8 in the final in Fraher Field.
St. Saviour's were relegated to the 2017 I.F.C. after losing the Relegation Final and a remarkable 29 season stay in the top flight came to an end. During this period they claimed one S.F.C. title when defeating Kilrossanty in 1998 and were runners-up in 1988 when losing to the same opposition.
