Pennsylvania Route 106 (PA 106) is a 20.69-mile (33.30 km) long state highway located in both Susquehanna and Lackawanna counties in Pennsylvania. Route 106 begins at a fork from U.S. Route 11 in the community of Kingsley. The route heads southeasterly for most of its length, interchanging with Interstate 81 in Lenox Township. Route 106 continues into the city of Carbondale, where the designation terminates at U.S. Route 6 Business (North Main Street), the former alignment of U.S. Route 6 through Carbondale.

Route 106 is one of five portions of the original U.S. Route 106, a spur of U.S. Route 6 through Pennsylvania. Route 106 went from U.S. Route 309 in Wyalusing to the New York state line in Damascus Township along current-day Route 652. The designation was eliminated in 1972 and replaced by Route 106 from Kingsley to Carbondale, Route 652 from Indian Orchard to Darbytown and Route 706 from Wyalusing to Nichols.
