Local elections were held in Laguna on May 9, 2016, as part of the 2016 general election. Voters will select candidates for all local positions: a town mayor, vice mayor and town councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the vice-governor, governor and representatives for the four districts of Laguna, including the newly created Biñan lone district.

Incumbent Governor Ramil Hernandez is running for his first full three-year term as governor. Hernandez assumed the governorship in 2014 after the Commission on Elections disqualifies ER Ejercito for campaign overspending in the 2013 elections. Ejercito is seeking to regain his post.

Hernandez's running mate is Vice Governor Katherine Agapay while Niño Lajara is Ejercito's running mate.
