The 2006–07 season was the 97th year of football played by Dundee United, and covers the period from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. United finished in ninth place for the third season in the row and meant they had only finished in the top six once in the seven seasons since the split was introduced.

United finished the season in 9th place with 42 points in the 2006–07 SPL season. In a poor end to the post-match split, United failed to win, scoring just one goal.

The League Cup campaign was ended by St Johnstone - aided by ex-United player Jason Scotland - who won 3–0 in the third round. United also exited the Scottish Cup at the second hurdle, losing 1–0 at Inverness CT in the 4th round.

Fans' favourite Craig Brewster left the manager's position in late-October, with former Hearts and Leicester City manager Craig Levein taking up the post.

United signed Craig Conway, Noel Hunt and Steven Robb in pre-season, with Derek McInnes,Jim McIntyre and Grant Brebner departing on free transfers after being released by the club. United started pre-season with a 4–1 win at Raith Rovers before a week in Denmark with matches against Herfølge BK and FC Nordsjælland. Back in Scotland, United played Forfar at Station Park before the Evening Telegraph Challenge Cup resulted in a disappointing 1–0 defeat to rivals Dundee at Dens. The round of pre-season friendlies meant none were played at Tannadice.
