A double referendum was held in Moldova's unrecognized breakaway region of Transnistria on 17 September 2006. Voters were asked whether they approved of the possibility of renouncing independence and integration with Moldova, or alternatively independence and possible future integration into Russia.

Foreign actors described infringements, a lack of conditions for free will expression and a biased wording in the questions of the referendum, and its results were not recognized internationally.
