Miss Grand Namibia 2016 was the second edition of the Miss Grand Namibia beauty pageant, held on July 9, 2016,[1][2] at the National Theatre of Namibia in the country's capital, Windhoek,[2] where a fourth-year medical student from the School of Medicine of the University of Namibia, Esperance Luvindao, was announced the winner,[3][4] outclassing other sixteen regional representatives.[2] Luvindao was expected to represent Namibia at the Miss Grand International 2016 pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada,[3][5] but withdrew for unknown reasons.[6] Meanwhile, one of the contest's runners-up was also sent to compete at the Miss International 2017 pageant in Japan.[2][5]

The event was held with a total of 39 candidates,[1][7] who each competed in one category of the titles, including Little Miss Grand Namibia (ages 8 to 10), Miss Pre-Teen Grand Namibia (ages 11 to 14), Miss Teen Grand Namibia (ages 15 to 17), and the Miss category (ages 18–27).[2][5][8] Other than the Miss category, the winners of other categories also gained the right to represent Namibia internationally.[2][5]
