The 2016 congressional election in the Northern Mariana Islands was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, to elect the territory's sole Delegate to the United States House of Representatives.[1]

The election coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including the 2016 Northern Mariana Islands general election, as well as the nationwide 2016 United States House of Representatives elections and the 2016 United States general elections.
