The 2016 World Draughts Championship match in international draughts was held from 3–18 December in the Netherlands under the auspices of the International Draughts Federation (FMJD). Reigning world champion Alexander Georgiev decided not to defend his title, so the match took place between the second and third place finishers of the previous championship, Jan Groenendijk and Roel Boomstra.

Roel Boomstra won the match 16–8 to become World Draughts Champion.
