The 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in Connecticut were held on November 7, 2006, to elect the five members of the U.S. House, one from each of the state's congressional districts, to represent Connecticut in the 110th Congress. The elections coincided with a state gubernatorial election and a U.S. Senate election, as well as with Congressional elections in other states.

Four Democrats and one Republicans were elected by these elections; two of the Democratic victories resulted from the defeats of incumbent Republicans. The Representatives elected by these elections served in Congress from January 3, 2007, until January 3, 2009. As of 2023, this is the last election in which a Republican won a congressional district in Connecticut.
