The 2006 Oakland mayoral election was held on June 7, 2006 to elect the mayor of Oakland, California. It saw the election of Ron Dellums.

Incumbent mayor Jerry Brown did not seek reelection to a third term, instead opting to run in the 2006 California Attorney General election.

A 50% margin of the vote needed to be obtained by the victor in order to avoid a runoff being held in November. Dellums surpassed this margin by a mere 115 votes, thus no runoff was necessitated.
