An election for the House of Assembly (lower house) was held in the Australian state of Tasmania on 18 March 2006 the same day as the South Australian elections. The Labor Party led by Premier Paul Lennon won a third successive majority government term in office despite predictions the election would result in a minority government. Although there was a small swing against Labor they finished with 14 seats and there were no changes in the party composition of the assembly.
