The 1906 Clemson Tigers football team represented Clemson Agricultural College—now known as Clemson University—during the 1906 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. Under first-year head coach Bob Williams, the team posted a 4–0–3 overall record with a mark of 4–0 in SIAA play.^[1]^[2] Fritz Furtick was the team captain.^[3]

Heralding one of the best defenses in the South for the season, the Tigers allowed no touchdowns scored by their opponents in seven games, and only four points scored overall. The team tied with Vanderbilt for the SIAA title,^[4] but few writers chose them over the vaunted Commodores.^[5]
