2016 IIHF World Championship Division III

The 2016 IIHF World Championship Division III was an international ice hockey tournament run by the International Ice Hockey Federation. It was contested in Istanbul, Turkey, from 31 March to 6 April 2016. The host team, Turkey, won all of its games and was promoted to Division II B for 2017.

The United Arab Emirates withdrew shortly before the tournament, leaving six teams to play. Bosnia and Herzegovina recorded their first victory in an IIHF tournament, defeating Hong Kong 5–4. Georgia's results were later recorded as 5–0 forfeits due to the use of ineligible players.
