The 2006–07 UCI Africa Tour was the third season of the UCI Africa Tour. The season began on 6 October 2006 with the Grand Prix Chantal Biya and ended on 16 September 2007 with the Dome 2 Dome Cycling Spectacular.

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wears the UCI Africa Tour cycling jersey. Rabaki Jérémie Ouédraogo of Burkina Faso was the defending champion of the 2005–06 UCI Africa Tour. Hassen Ben Nasser of Tunisia was crowned as the 2006–07 UCI Africa Tour champion.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers, the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded. The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:

  • Multi-day events: 2.HC, 2.1 and 2.2
  • One-day events: 1.HC, 1.1 and 1.2
