List of exoplanets discovered in 2016

This is a list of exoplanets discovered in 2016. As of 2024, 2016 was the year with the most discoveries of exoplanets.

For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the mass value is actually a lower limit. (See Minimum mass for more information)

Excluded objects
The majority of exoplanet discoveries in 2016 were from a paper by Morton et al. that statistically validated over 1,000 Kepler planets. This statistical validation did not involve mass measurements, and some transiting objects validated as planets were later shown (or even previously known) to be small stars. Such cases include Kepler-469 (KOI-126), Kepler-470 (KOI-129), Kepler-486 (KOI-189), Kepler-488 (KOI-194), Kepler-503 (KOI-242), Kepler-628 (KOI-631), Kepler-699 (KOI-846), Kepler-706 (KOI-855), Kepler-807 (KOI-1288), Kepler-840 (KOI-1416), and Kepler-854 (KOI-1450). In another two cases, Kepler-492 (KOI-205) and Kepler-494 (KOI-219), the companions are brown dwarfs with masses about 40 times that of Jupiter.
