1906–07 Hull City A.F.C. season

The 1906–07 season was the third season in the history of Hull City Association Football Club and their second consecutive season in the Second Division. In addition to the domestic league, the club would also participate in the FA Cup.

Summary Having struggled with an injury sustained early into Hull's debut league campaign, Ambrose Langley retired as a player to solely focus on managing the team for the 1906–07 season. His first decision as full-time manager was to promote one-time England international Gordon Wright to club captain, after his predecessor Tom Jones had left the Tigers over the summer.

Under the leadership of Langley and Wright, Hull continued making good progress as a Football League side, eventually achieving a 9th-placed finish.
