The men's doubles was one of four lawn tennis events on the Tennis at the 1906 Intercalated Games programme. The tournament was played on clay courts at the Athens Lawn Tennis Club.

Frenchmen Max Decugis and Maurice Germot won the gold medal^[1] by defeating Greeks and Xenophon Kasdaglis in five sets.

This is one of two events that featured a specific match to determine the bronze medal winner (the other being the women's doubles),^[2] in which Bohemians Ladislav Žemla and Zdeněk Žemla defeated Greeks Georgios Simiriotis and Nikolaos Zarifis in straight sets.
