The 2016 United States presidential election in Arkansas was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Arkansas voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.

On March 1, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Arkansas voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, Republican, Green, Libertarian, Constitution, and Prohibition parties' respective nominees for President. Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote.

Despite Hillary Clinton having once served as First Lady of Arkansas, Donald Trump won the state with 60.6% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 33.7% of the vote.[1] The Republican candidate has carried Arkansas in every election since 2000. This is also the first election that the state has simultaneously voted for a Republican Presidential candidate and an incumbent Republican Senate candidate.
