The 2016 Albanian Cup final was a football match played on 22 May 2016 to decide the winner of the 2015–16 Albanian Cup, the 64th edition of Albania's primary football cup.
It was won by the first time by Kukësi 5–3 on penalties after the regular and extra time finished in a 1–1. Kukësi thus won its first Albanian Cup title, missing the opportunity last season where it was defeated by Laçi itself. It was the third consecutive cup final for Kukësi while Laçi had the opportunity to win the title for the third time in the last four editions. For the first time in the history of Albanian football, a cup final match was judged by foreign referees.
As Kukësi won both the Albanian Cup and Skënderbeu Korçë won the 2015–16 Albanian Superliga, the 2016 Albanian Supercup will be between Skënderbeu Korçë and Kukësi.
