Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1916. Mayor Tommy Church was elected to his second term in office.
Church had first been elected mayor the year previous. In the words of the Toronto Daily Star the mayoral contest "was something of a joke" as Church was only opposed by Harry Winberg, who had never before held elected office. Church ignored his opponent during the campaign, and was easily returned.
