The 2006-07 Memphis Grizzlies season was the team's 12th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 49-33 output from the previous season. However, they came up 27 games shy, finishing 22-60, and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in four seasons.[1] The Grizzlies had the worst team defensive rating in the NBA.[2]

Mike Fratello was fired in December after a 6-24 start. He was later replaced by Tony Barone.

Team captain Pau Gasol missed the first half of the season after suffering a foot injury during the Olympics.
