The 48th Annual Australian Film Institute Awards ceremony, honouring the best in Australian cinema and television of 2006, took place on 6 and 7 December 2006 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and was broadcast on the Nine Network. The main awards presenter lineup included Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger, Eric Bana, Daniel Radcliffe, Sam Neill and Baz Luhrmann.

During the awards ceremony, which was hosted by Geoffrey Rush, the Australian Film Institute presented Australian Film Institute Awards (commonly referred to as AFI Awards) in 40 categories including feature films, television, animation, and documentaries. Ten Canoes, the first ever movie entirely filmed in Australian Aboriginal languages, won the most awards, taking six from its seven nominations and the Byron Kennedy Award for its director Rolf de Heer.
