Papyrus 106 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by , is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, containing verses 1:29-35 & 1:40-46 in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript has been paleographically assigned to the early 3rd century.  The manuscript is currently housed at the Sackler Library (Papyrology Rooms, shelf number P. Oxy. 4445) at Oxford.

Description
The original manuscript would've been around 12.5 cm x 23 cm, with about 35 lines per page. Due to pagination being extant (gamma/Γ (=3) on the front and delta/Δ (=4) on the reverse of the leaf), this indicates that the manuscript was either a single codex of John, or had John at the beginning of a collection. The text is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian), bearing familiarity to , , Codex Sinaiticus (), and Vaticanus (B).
