The Dayton Fire Department Station No. 16 was a historic fire station on the near east side of Dayton, Ohio, United States. An architectural landmark constructed in the early twentieth century, it was named a historic site seventy years after being built, but it is no longer extant.

Built of brick on a brick foundation, the station was covered with an asbestos roof and featured elements of wood and limestone. Most of the building was two-and-a-half stories tall and covered with a hip roof, although aberrations included a polygonal southeastern corner and a tower on the southern side. Three fire doors composed a significant part of the facade.^[2] Constructed in 1909,^[1] the station was built at a time when Dayton's city government was building numerous fire stations in high architectural styles; Station 16's most prominent details derived from the Neo-Renaissance and Gothic Revival styles. Among these details were the pointed arched doorways, a cornice with extensive bracketing, and elaborately shaped dormer windows; the building's overall plan was an unexceptional rectangle. The identity of its designer is unknown.^[3]

In 1980, Fire Station 16 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it qualified for inclusion because of its distinctive architecture,^[1] which surpassed that of virtually every other extant fire station in the city.^[3] Despite this designation, the station has since been removed, and a recently constructed house occupies its place.^[4]
