The 1916 Oregon Webfoots football team represented the University of Oregon as a member of the Northwest Conference and the newly-formed Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1916 college football season. Led by fourth year head coach Hugo Bezdek, the Webfoots compiled an overall record of 7–0–1 with a victory over Penn in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Oregon had a record of 2–0–1 in Northwest Conference played and 2–0–1 against PCC opponents, placing second in both conferences. The team played home games at Kincaid Field in Eugene, Oregon.

This was first Oregon football team to play to the school's "Mighty Oregon" fight song, which was first performed on January 7, 1916. In 2016 the Oregon Ducks wore Webfoot throwback jerseys in their game vs. Washington to celebrate the 100th anniversary of both the fight song and the 1916 squad.
