2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Women's Long Jump
The women's long jump at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 18, 2016. On paper, Brittney Reese came into this meet with a 20 cm better personal best.

Ivana Španović wasn't reading the paper and took the first round lead with a new indoor personal best 7.00, just short of her outdoor personal best of 7.02.
