The 2006–07 season was the 86th competitive season of Hereford United Football Club and 26th season overall in the Football League. It was Hereford's first season in the Football League since the 1996–97 season. The club competed in League Two following their promotion from the Conference via the play-offs in the previous season, as well as the FA Cup, League Cup and Football 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-finalists Lincoln 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 and Steve Guinan, returned to the club in the January transfer window.
