Parliamentary elections were held in Mongolia on 29 June 2016. The governing Democratic Party (DP) lost to a landslide victory of the Mongolian People's Party (MPP), retaining only nine of 76 seats in the State Great Khural.

Although the DP's vote share was down by just two percentage points, a new electoral law promoting a two-party system was passed by the party while in government, which allowed the MPP vote share to rise by around 14 percentage points. The DP lost 22 out of their previous 31 seats in the State Great Khural. As a result, the MPP secured a supermajority with 65 of 76 seats.
