The 2006 Washington Huskies football team represented the University of Washington in the 2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team's coach was former Notre Dame and Stanford coach Tyrone Willingham. Washington played its home games at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington.

In 2004 the Huskies had a 1–10 season. Their lone victory over San Jose State led to Head Coach Keith Gilbertson leaving the team. Tyrone Willingham was hired after being dismissed from Notre Dame to lead the Huskies. While Washington saw an overall improvement on the team, they still struggled to win games, finishing with a 2–9 record. Some highlights of the 2005 season were victories over Idaho and Pac-10 foe Arizona, and holding USC to 390 yards, their lowest offensive total of the year.

Head Coach Tyrone Willingham returns for his second year at the helm of the program. Redshirt Freshman J.R. Hasty (TB) was expected to have a big impact on the offensive line before being declared academically ineligible. Senior Isaiah Stanback and Sophomore Johnny Durocher are both challenging for the starting quarterback position. Incoming Junior College transfers are Anthony Atkins (DE), Jason Wells (S), and Jordan Murchison (CB). All are expected to fill holes in the team.
