The 1916 All-Pacific Coast football team consists of American football players chosen by various organizations for All-Pacific Coast teams for the 1916 college football season.

The Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded on December 2, 1915, at a meeting at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Oregon.^[1] Charter members were the University of California (now University of California, Berkeley), the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University). The conference began play in 1916, and the 1916 All-Pacific Coast football team was the first all-conference team selected from players within the conference.
