The 2016 Missouri Secretary of State election was held on November 8, 2016, to elect the Missouri Secretary of State, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate and those to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Incumbent Democratic secretary of state Jason Kander did not run for re-election to a second term in office and instead unsuccessfully ran in that year's U.S. Senate election for the seat held by Republican incumbent Roy Blunt.
