California's 16th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California. It includes portions of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, extending from the southwestern San Francisco Bay Area through the Santa Cruz Mountains to the Pacific coast. The district is currently represented by Democrat Anna Eshoo.

On December 20, 2021, the state redistricting commission unanimously approved a new map of congressional districts, under which the new district overlaps largely with the old 18th district.^[3] The primary election of June 2022 was the first to feature the new districts; however, sitting representatives reflected the old district boundaries until the general election in November 2022.

Prior to the 2020s redistricting, the district included Merced County, most of Madera County, and part of Fresno County. During this time, cities in the district included Los Banos, Madera, Merced, and most of Fresno. Cities in the new 16th district include Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, Atherton, Palo Alto, Saratoga, Campbell, Woodside, and Los Gatos, along with the south-central and southwestern parts of San Jose. Most of the old 16th district is now part of the 13th and 21st districts.^[4]
