2006–07 Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team

The 2006–07 Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team represented the University of Iowa as members of the Big Ten Conference during the 2006–07 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was led by eighth-year head coach Steve Alford and played their home games at Carver–Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes finished the season 17–14 overall and 9–7 in Big Ten play (tied for fourth place).
