Elections to Manchester City Council were held on 4 May 2006. One third of the council was up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a four-year term of office, expiring in 2010. The council stayed under Labour Party control, strengthened by four gains from the Liberal Democrats.{{cite web | url = http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=2568 | title = Local Election Results 2006 | publisher = manchester.gov.uk | access-date = 2012-01-17 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100511060522/http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=2568 | archive-date = 11 May 2010}}{{cite web| url = http://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/results/2006/35/ | title = Local Elections Archive: 2006 - Manchester | publisher = andrewteale.me.uk |access-date = 2012-01-17}}
