2016 Copa do Brasil finals

The 2016 Copa do Brasil Finals were the final two-legged tie that decided the 2016 Copa do Brasil, the 28th season of the Copa do Brasil, Brazil's national cup football tournament organised by the Brazilian Football Confederation. The finals were contested in a two-legged home-and-away format between Atlético Mineiro, from Minas Gerais, and Grêmio, from Rio Grande do Sul. The latter were crowned champions by an aggregate score of 4–2.

The first leg was played at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte, on 23 November 2016. The second leg was scheduled to be played in the Arena do Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, on 30 November 2016, but was postponed to 7 December, following the crash of an aeroplane carrying the squad of Brazilian team Chapecoense on their way to the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final.

It was Atlético Mineiro's second and Grêmio's eighth appearance in the finals of the competition, and the first time the teams faced each other in this stage. Grêmio earned the right to play in the 2017 Copa Libertadores through their victory.

Note: In all results below, the score of the finalist is given first (H: home; A: away).

The home-and-away teams for both legs were determined by a draw held on 4 November 2016 at the Brazilian Football Confederation headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
