The 2006 Colorado gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 2006. Incumbent Republican governor Bill Owens was unable to run due to term limits, and the election was won by Democratic nominee Bill Ritter.
With his win, Democrats obtained a trifecta in the state for the first time since 1963. As of 2024, this is the last time the Governor's office in Colorado changed partisan control.
