The 2016 Big Sky Conference women's basketball tournament was a tournament from March 7–12, 2016. This was the first year in which all Big Sky members competed in the conference tournament.

The arena seats roughly 5,000.[1] Idaho defeated Idaho State to win their 2nd Big Sky tournament title for the first time since 1985 before returning to the Big Sky in 2014 and earn an automatic trip to the NCAA women's tournament.
