Municipal elections were held in Milan on 28–29 May 2006, to elect the Mayor of Milan and the 60 members of the City Council.

The incumbent Mayor Gabriele Albertini was term-limited and could not run for a third term.

The main candidates were the incumbent Minister of Education Letizia Moratti, supported by Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right coalition House of Freedoms, and the former prefect of Milan Bruno Ferrante, supported by the centre-left coalition The Union.

As a result of the election, Letizia Moratti was officially proclaimed new Mayor of Milan on 1 June 2006, becoming the first female to fill the office.[1]
