**The Masters Tournament 2006** var den 70. utgaven av The Masters Tournament, en av de fire store turneringene i golf. Turneringen fant sted på Augusta National Golf Club i den amerikanske delstaten Georgia 3.–9. april 2006. Tittelforsvarer var Tiger Woods.

Selve turneringen fant sted torsdag 6. til søndag 9. april. Premiepotten var 7 millioner dollar. Startfeltet bestod av 90 spillere. Mandag 3. til onsdag 5. ble det holdt treningsrunder, og onsdagen ble det tradisjonen tro arrangert en par 3-konkurranse. Amerikaneren Ben Crane vant konkurransen med 23 slag.

Det var dramatikk i forkant av turneringen da bilen til spilleren Tom Lehman ble beskutt mens han var på vei til flyplassen for å hente sin sønn. Lehman kjørte i vestlig retning på Bobby Jones Expressway da en bil passerte ham og han hørte en eksplosjon. Det ble senere funnet kulehull i vinduet. Lehman kom ikke til skade, og stilte til start i turneringen. Politiet arresterte og siktet en 26 år gammel mann for udåden neste dag.

Tittelforsvarer Tiger Woods var bookmakernes favoritt før turneringen, men Phil Mickelson, som vant BellSouth Classic på 28 under par én uke tidligere, ble også av mange regnet som favoritt. Begge hadde vunnet The Masters tidligere.

Banen var forlenget med 142 meter til 6808 meter foran 2006-turneringen, noe som gjorde Augusta til den nest lengste *major*-banen i historien.

Arron Oberholser var nok et slag bak på 69, fulgt av fire spillere på 70: Phil Mickelson, Retief Goosen, Geoff Ogilvy og Tim Clark. Mickelson misset en 6-fots birdieputt på hull 18 som ville gjort ham til den fjerde spilleren med en score på 60-tallet. Tittelforsvarer Tiger Woods, som har vunnet fire ganger, gikk på par med 72 slag.

Lederen Chad Campbell satte birdie på de to første hullene for å øke ledelsen til fire slag på åtte under, men gjorde deretter bogey på de to neste hullene før mørket kom og spillet ble avsluttet. Da runden fortsatte neste dag ble han innhentet av Phil Mickelson, som leder før siste runde på fire under par. Veteranen Fred Coules ligger delt med Campbell ett slag bak Mickelson. Tiger Woods gjorde en 71-runde og er to under par på en delt fjerdeplass sammen med Rocco Mediate, Stephen Ames, Tim Clark, Darren Clarke og Vijay Singh.
