The 2005–06 Orlando Magic season was the team's 17th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 36–46 output from the previous season. They matched it exactly, finishing 36–46, but failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight season.2005-06 Orlando Magic This season preceded six straight playoff appearances for the Magic. In the off-season, the Magic re-hired head coach Brian Hill for his second stint with the team.

Grant Hill, who was voted as an All-Star last year, was hampered by injuries and was only able to play 21 games this season. In February, Steve Francis was suspended for conduct detrimental to the club and the Magic eventually traded him to the New York Knicks.
