The 2006 Oklahoma lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 2006, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma, concurrently with elections to the United States House of Representatives, governor, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on July 25, 2006, with runoff elections held on August 22 in races where no single candidate cleared at least 50% of the vote.
Incumbent Republican lieutenant governor Mary Fallin was eligible to seek re-election to a fourth term in office, but instead decided to run for Oklahoma's 5th congressional district in 2006. State house minority leader Jari Askins and state house speaker Todd Hiett won their respective primaries in a runoff election, the only statewide 2006 race where either major party faced a runoff election. Askins narrowly defeated Hiett in the general election. As of 2026, this election, along with several other concurrent statewide races, was the last time a Democrat was elected statewide in Oklahoma.
