The 1906 Alabama Senate election took place on Tuesday, November 6, 1906, to elect 106 representatives to serve four-year terms in the Alabama House of Representatives. The election used the same districts first drawn by the Alabama Constitution of 1901.
The only non-Democratic senator, Populist James A. Hurst of Etowah County (District 6) did not seek re-election, but unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for Alabama's 7th congressional district. E. P. Thomas of Barbour County was unanimously elected President pro tempore of the Senate when the legislature convened on January 8, 1907.
The election took place concurrently with elections for U.S. House, governor, state house, and numerous other state and local offices.
