The 2016 Saudi Super Cup was the fourth edition of the Saudi Super Cup, an annual football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Saudi Pro League and King Cup competitions.
The match was played on 8 August 2016 between Al-Ahli, the winners of both the 2015–16 Saudi Pro League and the 2016 King Cup, and Al-Hilal, the winners of the 2015–16 Crown Prince Cup. Normally, the Saudi Super Cup is contested by the league and King Cup champions, but since Al-Ahli won both competitions, Al-Hilal qualified as Crown Prince Cup winners — the first time a team qualified this way. The match was held at Craven Cottage in London, England, marking the second consecutive edition of the Saudi Super Cup to be played abroad.
The match ended in a 1–1 draw after regular time and was decided by a penalty shoot-out, with Al-Ahli winning 4–3 to claim their first Saudi Super Cup title.
