The 2016 Washington Huskies football team represents the University of Washington in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The head coach is Chris Petersen, in his third year at UW. Washington is a member of the North Division of the Pac-12 Conference and the Huskies play their home games on campus at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium, in the University District of Seattle.

Previous season

The Huskies finished the season 7–6, 4–5 in Pac-12 play to finish in a tie fourth place in the North Division. They were invited to the Heart of Dallas Bowl where they defeated Southern Miss. Defensive line coach and special teams coordinator Jeff Choate left Washington to accept the head coach position at Montana State. Wide receivers coach Brent Pease did not have his contract renewed after the season and was effectively fired. Offensive quality control coach Bush Hamdan was promoted to take over the receivers position and also added the title of passing game coordinator. Former Husky defensive back Ikaika Malloe was hired away from Utah State to coach the defensive line. Linebackers coach Bob Gregory will take over special teams in 2016.
