Miss Grand Namibia 2016

Miss Grand Namibia 2016 was the second edition of the Miss Grand Namibia beauty pageant, held on July 9, 2016, at the National Theatre of Namibia in the country's capital, Windhoek, where a fourth-year medical student from the School of Medicine of the University of Namibia, Esperance Luvindao, was announced the winner, outclassing other sixteen regional representatives. Luvindao was expected to represent Namibia at the Miss Grand International 2016 pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada, but withdrew for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, one of the contest's runners-up was also sent to compete at the Miss International 2017 pageant in Japan.

The event was held with a total of 39 candidates, who each competed in one category of the titles, including Little Miss Grand Namibia (ages 8 to 10), Miss Pre-Teen Grand Namibia (ages 11 to 14), Miss Teen Grand Namibia (ages 15 to 17), and the Miss category (ages 18–27). Other than the Miss category, the winners of other categories also gained the right to represent Namibia internationally.
