The List of members of the Tweede Kamer (2006 - present) is the list of members of the lower house of the Dutch Parliament during its current session. The members elected in the latest Dutch general elections on 22 November 2006 took their seats on 30 november 2006. There has been a sizable number of mutations since due to the particular nature of the Dutch constitutional system. New members are supplied from their party lists so the resignation of individual members' seats does not change the balance of power in the Dutch Parliament.

Elected members per 22 november 2006
The parties are sorted on the basis of the sizes of their parliamentary factions. Candidates elected on the basis of preference votes are listed first, followed by the other members elected - as determined by their place on the party lists. Members elected solely on the basis of preference votes are marked (**), other members having acquired sufficient preference votes but who would have been elected on the basis of their position on the party list, have been marked (*)
