The men's super-G competition in the 2016 FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup involved eight events, including the finals in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
In the previous four seasons, this discipline had been won by two different Norwegians, Aksel Lund Svindal (2012–14) and Kjetil Jansrud (2015), and Svindal started the season out as if he were going to reclaim the title, winning three of the first four Super-G races. However, two days after winning the Super-G in Kitzbühel, Svindal (along with Austria's Georg Streitberger) suffered a season-ending injury in a downhill there. That opened up the race for the discipline title, which then became a wide-open battle that also included 23-year-old Norwegian skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. After Jansrud won the next-to-last Super-G of the season in Kvitfjell, Kilde had a five-point lead on the inactive Svindal, a 37-point lead on Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr, and a 40-point lead over Jansrud. In the finals, Kilde and Jansrud tied for second, earning each 80 points and giving the crystal globe to Kilde (extending Norway's dominance to five seasons) as part of an all-Norwegian podium with Jansrud and Svindal.
