The 2006 FIU Golden Panthers football team represented Florida International University (FIU) as a member of the Sun Belt Conference during the 2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by Don Strock in his fifth and final season as head coach, the Panthers compiled an overall record of 0–12 with a mark of 0–7 in conference play, placing last out of eight teams in the Sun Belt. The team played home game at FIU Stadium in Miami.
The season was marred by the infamous brawl against the Miami Hurricanes in the seventh week of the season, which precipitated Strock's resignation. The Golden Panthers finished the 2006 season winless in twelve games, and were outscored by opponents 313 to 115. Their average of 9.6 points scored per game was the worst in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) that year.
