The 2016 Ladbrokes World Grand Prix was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 8 and 13 March 2016 at the Venue Cymru in Llandudno, Wales. It was the seventh ranking event of the 2015/2016 season.

The defending champion Judd Trump lost 2–4 against Stuart Bingham in the last 16. Shaun Murphy beat Stuart Bingham 10–9 in the final to win the £100,000 first prize. The tournament was broadcast in the UK on ITV4.

Prize fund

The breakdown of prize money for this year is shown below:

The "rolling 147 prize" for a maximum break was won at the previous ranking event, the Welsh Open, and so stood at £5,000. The sponsor pledged to double the prize for a 147 break and so the prize was £10,000.

Seeding list

The top 32 players on a one-year ranking system running from the 2015 Australian Goldfields Open until the 2016 Gdynia Open qualified for the tournament.
