The New Zealand National Party leadership election was an election for the National leadership position in 2006 following the resignation of Don Brash.

In November 2006, after months of speculation, Don Brash announced his resignation as leader of the National Party. Finance spokesman John Key was elected unopposed as his replacement (with former leader Bill English as his deputy), and consequently became Leader of the Opposition.
