New York's 16th Congressional District is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives located in the Bronx. The district includes the neighborhoods of Bedford Park, East Tremont, Fordham, Hunts Point, Melrose, Highbridge, Morrisania, Mott Haven and University Heights. Yankee Stadium, Fordham University and the Bronx Zoo are located within the district. The district is currently represented by Democrat José E. Serrano.

The territory now within the 16th Congressional District was, in 2000, the poorest of the nation's 435 present Congressional Districts (with 42.2% of its residents below the poverty line) and the most favorable to Democratic Presidential candidate Al Gore (who won 92% of its vote). Of New York State's 29 congressional districts it was the most Hispanic and also the youngest (34.5% under 18 years old and 6.7% over 65). It had, as well, the state's lowest percentage of owner-occupied homes (7.2% versus 53.0% statewide). It was recorded as the most Democratic district in the Cook Partisan Voter Index for the 110th U.S. Congress, with a score of D+43. In 2008, it gave Barack Obama his largest victory margin in any congressional district, a margin of 95%-5%.
