The 2006 congressional elections in Indiana were elections for Indiana's delegation to the United States House of Representatives, which occurred along with congressional elections nationwide on November 7, 2006. Indiana played an important role in helping Democrats sweep Congress, when three Republican incumbents were defeated (Chris Chocola, John Hostettler and Mike Sodrel), giving the Democrats a majority of the delegation again.[1] Republicans held a majority of Indiana's delegation, 7–2, before the elections.

Indiana was one of four states in which the party that won the state's popular vote did not win a majority of seats in 2006, the other states being New Mexico, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
