The 2016 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner's Cup Finals was the best-of-7 championship series of the 2016 PBA Commissioner's Cup and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs. The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters and the Alaska Aces competed for the 16th Commissioner's Cup championship and the 117th overall championship contested by the league.

This was the first championship series that does not involve any team owned by the San Miguel Corporation or the MVP Group of Companies since the 2000 All-Filipino Cup Finals, when the Alaska Milkmen won the championship series against the Purefoods TJ Hotdogs. Purefoods was still then owned by the Ayala Corporation when the finals series was held.[1] This was also the first championship series since the 2004 Fiesta Conference when both the top two teams at the end of the eliminations did not advance to the Finals.
