The 2006 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Hockenheimring on 30 July 2006. The race was the twelfth round of the 2006 Formula One season.
Kimi Räikkönen took pole position, but it proved artificial, as McLaren had inadvertently not put enough fuel as intended in his car before qualifying. In the race, his early pitstop left him unable to challenge for the win. Michael Schumacher scored his 89th career win ahead of teammate Felipe Massa.
The race also saw the last appearance by 1997 champion Jacques Villeneuve, who blamed the split on the "lack of assurances about his short-term future with BMW Sauber". Robert Kubica was promoted to drive in all the remaining Grands Prix.
