The 2016 Gloucester City Council election took place on 5 May 2016 to elect members of Gloucester City Council in England. All seats are up for election at the same time due to boundary changes.

They were originally planned for 7 May 2020, but postponed until 6 May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
