The 2016 Bound for Glory was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It took place on October 2, 2016 at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida, the first time since the inaugural 2005 event to be held at the venue. It was the twelfth event in the Bound for Glory chronology, and the last live pay-per-view event under the TNA name until the 2024 Hard To Kill event. It included the induction of Gail Kim into the TNA Hall of Fame, with Christy Hemme, Taryn Terrell and Awesome Kong returning to induct her.[1] The event also featured the official TNA debut of Cody and Brandi Rhodes.[2]

Eight matches, one of which was a match taped for TNA Xplosion, took place at the event. In the main event, Lashley defeated Ethan Carter III to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and The Hardys (Broken Matt and Brother Nero) defeated Decay (Abyss and Crazzy Steve) in The Great War to become the TNA World Tag Team Champions.

In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.[3]
