The 2006 Tabasco state election was held in the Mexican state of Tabasco on Sunday, 15 October 2006 to elect the Governor of Tabasco, municipal presidents across the state, and local deputies in the state Congress.

The election took place months after the 2006 presidential election, in which PRD candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador narrowly lost. The gubernatorial election was seen as a test for Obrador, who won Tabasco in the election, and the PRD. PRI candidate Andrés Rafael Granier Melo ultimately defeated PRD candidate César Raúl Ojeda Zubieta.
