The 2006 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 53rd Polytec Macau Grand Prix) was a Formula Three (F3) car race held on 19 November 2006, on the streets of Macau. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2006 Macau Grand Prix was not part of any F3 championship, but was open to entries from all F3 championships. The race itself was made up of two races: a ten-lap qualifying race that set the starting order for the 15-lap main race. The 2006 race was the 53rd Macau Grand Prix and the 24th for F3 cars.
Mike Conway of Raikkonen-Robertson Racing won the Grand Prix after finishing seventh in the previous day's qualification race won by Kamui Kobayashi of ASM Formule 3. Conway took the lead after a multi-car accident between Kobayashi, Paul di Resta and Marko Asmer on the first lap of the race and held it to claim the first victory for a British driver in the Macau Grand Prix since Darren Manning in the 1999 edition. Richard Antinucci of ASM Formula 3 finished second, while TOM'S driver Adrian Sutil finished third.
