The 2006 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 11th in the National Football League (NFL), their 8th under head coach Brian Billick, and their 5th season under general manager Ozzie Newsome.
The team improved on their 6–10 record from 2005 to a 13-3 record and marks their greatest-single season turnaround for the team. The Ravens, for the first time in franchise history, started 4–0. The Ravens ended the regular season with a then-franchise record thirteen wins (that stood until a fourteen-win season in 2019). The Ravens clinched the AFC North title and a 1st-round playoff bye, their first playoff berth since 2003. However, their season came to an end, with a 6–15 upset loss to the eventual Super Bowl XLI champions Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round.
