The 2016 United States presidential election in Kansas was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participated. Kansas voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. Kansas has six electoral votes in the Electoral College. ^[2]

Trump carried the state with 56.16 percent of the vote, while Clinton received 35.74 percent. ^[3] Kansas was among eleven states (and the District of Columbia) in which Clinton improved on Barack Obama's margin from 2012 (though her vote share was lower than Obama's 38 percent), largely due to a significant shift towards Democrats in Johnson County. ^{[4] [5]}

This was the final election of Riley County's 104-year streak of voting Republican, as in the next election Joe Biden would become the first Democrat to win the county in its history. It is also the most recent election as of the 2024 election where Riley County, Johnson County, or Shawnee County has voted Republican.
