New York State Route 106 is a state highway in New York, running from NY 105 in North Bellmore to Oyster Bay. It runs through the Towns of Hempstead and Oyster Bay, including the hamlets of East Meadow, Levittown, Hicksville, Jericho, and East Norwich and the Villages of Brookville and Muttontown. The route is entirely within Nassau County.

Much of the route through Hicksville and Jericho overlaps NY 107. A large portion of the route, including the concurrency, is a multi-lane, divided highway. It runs through both the relatively dense, middle-class suburbs of southern and central Nassau County and the affluent, sparsely populated suburbs of the north shore. Along the way, it accesses the Hicksville Long Island Rail Road station and the Broadway Mall, also in Hicksville.

Immediately after an unnumbered cloverleaf interchange with Jericho Turnpike, NY 107 breaks away from NY 106 and continues as a two-lane highway as it heads for the City of Glen Cove, while NY 106 continues as a four-lane highway. At some point north of NY 25A, the road narrows down to two lanes on its way to Oyster Bay.

South of the route's terminus at NY 105 (which is also that route's western terminus), Newbridge Road continues to Bellmore as an unnumbered county road.

NY 106 originally continued south to Merrick Road in Merrick. It was truncated to NY 105 in 1972.^[2]
