The 2006 Toronto municipal election will take place on 13 November 2006, to elect a mayor and 44 city councillors in Toronto, Canada. The election will be held in conjunction with those held in other municipalities in the province of Ontario. See Ontario municipal elections, 2006.

Toronto city councillor Jane Pitfield is running against current Mayor of Toronto, David Miller.

On Wednesday, April 12, 2006, AM 640 Toronto Radio reported that Dennis Mills was interested in seeking the Mayor's office in the 2006 election. Reports suggest that he is setting up funds to throw his name into the race. More recently, it has been reported that Mills has ruled out a run for the position.

The Toronto Star has reported that former Toronto police chief Julian Fantino, currently serving as Commissioner of Emergency Management for Ontario, and current federal Member of Parliament Ken Dryden [1] may run against Miller. However, Dryden has since joined the race to become leader of the Liberal Party of Canada at their 2006 leadership convention. On April 15, 2006, the Toronto Star reported that Julian Fantino [2] looks like he will not run for the office of the mayor. Current Toronto city councillors Rob Ford, George Mammoliti and Michael Thompson were also rumoured to be considering, but have since filed their papers to seek re-election in their wards.

Local activist Dave Meslin created an initiative and contest called City Idol, to encourage local citizens otherwise alienated from politics to seek elected office in the upcoming municipal election.
