The 2016 Scottish Women's Premier League was the 15th season of the SWPL, the highest division of women's football in Scotland since 2002. For the first time, the league was split into two divisions of eight teams each, SWPL 1 and SWPL 2.
The split into two divisions reduced the number of top-division teams from 12 to 8. The change was made to increase competitiveness in the league.
At the end of the season in October 2016, Glasgow City won the championship, ahead of Hibernian. City became the first senior football club to win ten Scottish league titles in succession. Forfar Farmington were relegated, being replaced by Hamilton Academical for the 2017 season.
