The 2006 Alabama lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 2006, to elect the lieutenant governor of Alabama. Democratic incumbent Lucy Baxley chose to unsuccessfully run for governor of Alabama rather than seek a second term. The Democratic nominee, Jim Folsom Jr., who had previously served as both governor and lieutenant governor of Alabama, won the election, defeating Republican lawyer Luther Strange by a narrow margin of 1.47 percentage points.
As of 2026, this is the last time a Democrat has been elected lieutenant governor of Alabama as well as the last time Alabama elected a governor and lieutenant governor of separate political parties, since this election coincided with Republican Governor Bob Riley's re-election.
