The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group G was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament. Group G consisted of six teams: Russia, Sweden, Austria, Montenegro, Moldova, and Liechtenstein, where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.

The top two teams would qualify directly for the finals. The third-placed team would qualify directly too if they had the best records among the third-placed teams of all qualifying groups, otherwise they would enter the play-offs for another chance to qualify.
Austria and Russia qualified for the finals as the group winners and runners-up respectively. As third-placed Sweden weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they won against Denmark and thus qualified too.
