The 2016 Poznań Open was a professional tennis tournament played on clay courts. It was the thirteenth edition of the tournament which was part of the 2016 ATP Challenger Tour. It took place at the Park Tenisowy Olimpia in Poznań, Poland from 9 to 11 July 2015, including the qualifying competition in the first two days.

For the first time in the tournament's history, evening sessions under floodlights were scheduled on rebuild centre court. The prize money has decreased to €42,500 + Hospitality, and because of calendar congestion caused by the 2016 Summer Olympics no top 100 player entered that year, which had not happened in Poznań Open before. However, when the tournament started, a top seeded Radu Albot was ranked 92.

Due to bad weather, some of the first round doubles matches were played indoors.
