The2006–07 season was the 86th competitive season ofHereford United Football Club and 26th season overall in theFootball League. It was Hereford's first season in the Football League since the1996–97 season. The club competed inLeague Two following their promotion from theConference via the play-offs in theprevious season, as well as theFA Cup,League Cup andFootball League Trophy.

In the early part of 2007 Hereford were hovering in mid-table, and a notable 4–1 away win at eventual play-off semi-finalistsLincoln City lifted them to 8th position. However, from the end of February, the club went on a very poor run of form with only 8 points earned from the 13 remaining matches, only one of which was a win, meant that the club dropped as low as 17th, before eventually finishing 16th.

Two former players,Ben Smith andSteve Guinan, returned to the club in the January transfer window.
