The 2006 Air New Zealand Screen Awards were held on Thursday 24 August 2006 at SkyCity Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand. Previously known as the New Zealand Screen Awards, the awards were renamed when airline Air New Zealand became the naming-rights sponsor, signing for five years of sponsorship.
The film awards had only four titles in the feature films category: The World's Fastest Indian, No.2, River Queen and Sione's Wedding, with The World's Fastest Indian winning seven of its 10 categories. Hollywood actors Anthony Hopkins and Ruby Dee won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.
There were 13 feature film categories (an increase of one on 2005), two digital feature categories, four short film categories and 28 television categories (an increase of six on 2005).
