The 2016 Houston Dynamo season was the club's 11th season of existence since joining Major League Soccer for the 2006 season.

The Dynamo entered the 2016 Major League Soccer season looking to return to the MLS Cup Playoffs after failing to qualify the previous two seasons but instead missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year, a club record, and finished in last place in the Western Conference.

The season covers the period from December 7, 2015 to December 10, 2016, the day of MLS Cup 2016. This was Houston's fifth season at BBVA Compass Stadium, after opening the stadium in 2012.

For transfers in, dates listed are when Houston Dynamo officially signed the players to the roster. Transactions where only the rights to the players are acquired are not listed. For transfers out, dates listed are when Houston Dynamo officially removed the players from its roster, not when they signed with another club. If a player later signed with another club, his new club will be noted, but the date listed here remains the one when he was officially removed from Houston Dynamo roster.

    CONCACAF Champions League
    Selection Procedure
    • Four US-based teams qualify for the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League:
      1. The winner of the MLS Cup 2016 (Seattle Sounders FC);
      2. The winner of the Supporters' Shield (FC Dallas);
      3. The regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters Shield (New York Red Bulls);
      4. The winner of the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (FC Dallas; already qualified, so berth passes to Colorado Rapids)
      Should a team qualify through more than one method, or should a team from Canada occupy any MLS qualifying place, the next best US team in the overall table would take its place.
      One Canada-based team qualifies for the Champions League (NOTE: Canadian teams cannot qualify through MLS):
      1. The winner of the 2016 and 2017 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)
