The 2016 WPI Engineers football team represented Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the 2016 NCAA Division III football season.[1][2] It marked the Engineers' 127th overall season and the team played its home games at Alumni Stadium in Worcester, Massachusetts. They were led by seventh-year head coach Chris Robertson. This was the final season that WPI was a member of the Liberty League for football, as they moved to the NEWMAC for the 2017 season.
The Engineers finished the season with a winning record of 6-4. This marked the first time that WPI posted consecutive winning seasons since the 1990s.
