The 2016 Copa do Brasil Finals will be the final two-legged tie that will decide the 2016 Copa do Brasil, the 28th season of the Copa do Brasil, Brazil's national cup football tournament organised by the Brazilian Football Confederation. The finals will be contested in a two-legged home-and-away format between Atlético Mineiro, from Minas Gerais, and Grêmio, from Rio Grande do Sul.

The first leg was played at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte, on 23 November 2016. The second leg was scheduled to be played in the Arena do Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, on 30 November 2016,[1][2][3] but was postponed on 29 November following the crash of an aeroplane carrying the squad of Brazilian team Chapecoense on their way to the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final.[4]

It will be Atlético Mineiro's second and Grêmio's eighth appearance in the finals of the competition, and the first time the teams face each other in this stage. The winners will earn the right to play in the 2017 Copa Libertadores.
