Provincial Trunk Highway 16 (PTH 16) is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is the Manitoba section of the Yellowhead Highway, and also the Trans-Canada Highway Yellowhead section. The main purpose of this highway is to connect Winnipeg with other Canadian cities such as Saskatoon and Edmonton. The highway runs from Bloom at an intersection with the Trans-Canada Highway and Provincial Road 305 ten kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Portage la Prairie to the Saskatchewan boundary sixteen kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Russell, where it continues as Saskatchewan Highway 16.

The highway is two lanes through Manitoba, with two small divided sections at the north and south junctions with PTH 10 around Minnedosa, which it runs in concurrence with just west of the town. PTH 16 is also twinned as it passes through Russell in concurrence with PTH 83, with northbound PTH 83 leaving/entering the concurrence at the western end of this section.

Twinning and upgrading to expressway status is being planned in the future.
