The 2006 Atlanta Braves season was the Braves' 135th for the franchise and 41st in Atlanta. During the season, the Braves attempted to win the NL East.
Finishing with a 79–83 record, not only did the Braves miss the playoffs for the first time since 1990 (not counting the strike-affected 1994 season), but also their first losing season and worst record since that year. In failing to reach the postseason, Atlanta ended their streak of consecutive NL East titles.
