The 2006 European Seniors Tour was the 15th season of the European Seniors Tour, the professional golf tour for men aged fifty and above operated by the PGA European Tour. Scotland's Sam Torrance retained his Order of Merit title, despite a late charge by the 2003 and 2004 Order of Merit winner Carl Mason.
