The 2006–07 New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets season was the team's 5th in the NBA. The Hornets split their games between the New Orleans Arena and the Ford Center, playing the majority of their schedule in Oklahoma City as they had in the previous season. The Hornets improved by one win, finishing 39–43, but failed to reach the playoffs.

Although the Hornets moved back to New Orleans full-time for the 2007–2008 NBA season, Oklahoma City was not without basketball for long as the Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma for the 2008–09 campaign and became known as the Oklahoma City Thunder.
