The 2016 United States presidential election in Arizona was won by Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 general election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Arizona voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. On March 22, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Arizona voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Green parties' respective nominees for president. Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated chose any one primary in which to vote, except in presidential elections. Six candidates appeared on the Democratic presidential primary ballot: Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton Rocky De La Fuente Martin O'Malley Henry Hewes Michael Steinberg Detailed results per congressional district Fourteen candidates appeared on the Republican presidential primary ballot: Jeb Bush Ben Carson Chris Christie Ted Cruz Carly Fiorina Lindsey Graham Mike Huckabee John Kasich George Pataki Rand Paul Marco Rubio Rick Santorum Tim Cook Donald Trump The Arizona Green Party held its primary on March 22.

Jill Stein won with 82% of the vote, the overall number of voters that took place in the primary saw an increase from 561 in 2012 to 770 in 2016. Only two candidates qualified for the primary: Within a day after the primary election on March 22, 2016, a petition went viral on the White House petitions site asking the Department of Justice to investigate election irregularities in Arizona; the Department of Justice has since launched a federal investigation into the primary. The following are final 2016 predictions from various organizations for Arizona as of Election Day. Los Angeles Times: Leans Clinton CNN: Battleground Sabato's Crystal Ball: Leans Trump NBC: Tossup RealClearPolitics: Toss-up Fox News: Leans Republican ABC: Tossup Trump won 5 of 9 congressional districts, including one represented by a Democrat. Clinton carried a district represented by a Republican. Voter Turnout was 77.17% with 2,661,497 ballots cast out of 3,588,466 voters. Donald Trump won Arizona with a margin of 3.5%, a reduced margin from Mitt Romney's 9.03% margin in 2012.

Arizona was among the eleven states in which Hillary Clinton outperformed Barack Obama's margin in 2012 due to an increase in Hispanic voter turnout in southern Arizona, including populated Maricopa County. Maricopa County in particular, went from a 10.69% margin of victory for Romney in 2012 to a 2.84% margin of victory for Trump—one of only three times that a Democrat has come closer to carrying the county since 1964. Indeed, the only closer margin since that time came in 1996, when Bill Clinton lost it by only 2.7%. Clinton came close to winning Yuma County, would have been the first Democrat to do so since the county was separated from La Paz County in the 1980s. Other rural counties, won by Bill Clinton in the 1990s continued to trend in a Republican direction. In terms of percentage of the vote, Trump's strongest support was in the northwest of the state whereas Clinton did best in the southern-central region. Arizona had 11 electors in 2016. All of them voted for Donald Trump for Mike Pence for vice president.
