The UK Singles Chart is one of many music charts compiled by the Official Charts Company that calculates the best-selling singles of the week in the United Kingdom. Since 2004 the chart based on the sales of both physical singles with airplay figures excluded from the official chart.

This list shows singles that peaked in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart during 2006, as well as songs which peaked in 2005 and 2007 but were in the top 40 in 2006. The entry date is when the song appeared in the top 40 for the first time (week ending, as published by the Official Charts Company, which is six days after the chart is announced).

Five-hundred and thirty-seven singles were in the top forty this year. Forty-five singles from 2005 remained in the top 40 for several weeks at the beginning of the year, or re-entered during the year. "Boys Will Be Boys" by The Ordinary Boys, "George Best – A Tribute" by Brian Kennedy & Peter Corry, "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt, "Like a Star" by Corinne Bailey Rae, "Munich" by Editors, "One Wish" by Ray J, "Hoppipolla" by Sigur Rós and "When I'm Gone" by Eminem were the singles from 2005 that did not peak until 2006. "Generator" by The Holloways, "PATT (Party All the Time)" by Sharam, "Raoul" by The Automatic, "Sheila" by Jamie T and "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn and John featuring Victoria Bergsman first charted in 2006 but did not reach their peak until 2007.

One-hundred and forty-one artists had multiple entries in the top forty in 2006, with Michael Jackson having the most entries (19). Songs that reached the top ten this year are featured here but also included in their own article.
