The 2016 East Carolina Pirates football team represented East Carolina University in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS season. They were led by first-year head coach Scottie Montgomery and played their home games at Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium. This was their third season in the East Division of the American Athletic Conference. They finished 3–9 overall and 1–7 in conference play, tying for fourth place in the East Division.
