The SNCF BB 16500 were a class of electric locomotives built by Alsthom between 1958 and 1964 for the SNCF.

They are part of the family of locomotives: SNCF Class BB 8500, , SNCF Class BB 17000, and SNCF Class BB 25500. After they were withdrawn in 2011, one locomotive was bought by Romanian railway operator Regiotrans (now Regio Călători) and used on freight trains.
