The 2006–07 Tennessee Volunteers basketball team represented the University of Tennessee as a member of the Southeastern Conference during the 2006–07 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

After receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 5 seed in the Southeast region, Tennessee reached the Sweet Sixteen before losing to No. 1 seed and eventual National runner-up Ohio State by a single point in the regional semi-final. The team finished the season with a 24–11 record (10–6 SEC).
