Israel competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
Five Israeli athletes participated in the Games, the same as in Salt Lake City in 2002. They included two ice dance couples: Galit Chait and Sergei Sakhnovski, who made their third participation in the Olympics, and the brother-sister team of Alexandra and Roman Zaretski for whom this was the first Olympics. The fifth member of the team was an alpine skier, Mikail Renzhin, the first Israeli who participated in this sport in the Olympics. He competed in the men's slalom and giant slalom events.
Galit Chait was the flag-bearer in the opening ceremony, as she was in 2002.
The ice dancers competed in compulsory dance on February 17, original dance on February 19 and free dance on February 20. Mikail Renzhin competed in giant slalom on February 20 and slalom on February 25.
