2006 Belarusian First League was the sixteenth season of 2nd level football championship in Belarus. It started in April and ended in October 2006.

Two top teams of last season (Belshina Bobruisk and Lokomotiv Vitebsk) were promoted to Belarusian Premier League. The promoted teams were replaced by two teams that finished at the bottom of 2005 Belarusian Premier League table (Zvezda-BGU Minsk and Slavia Mozyr).

Two teams that finished at the bottom of 2005 season table (Orsha and Dnepr-DUSSh-1 Rogachev) relegated to the Second League. They were replaced by two best teams of 2005 Second League (Torpedo-SKA Minsk and Pinsk-900).

Before the start of the season Smena Minsk was transformed into new club FC Minsk, which overtook Smena's First League allocation, bypassing the Second League entirely. Newly promoted Torpedo-SKA Minsk was disbanded with some of its facilities (such as office and stadium) being inherited by Minsk.

Slavia Mozyr and ZLiN Gomel merged together into Mozyr-ZLiN, a club which is now considered a continuation of Slavia Mozyr (and was eventually renamed into such).
