Boxing at the 2006 Commonwealth Games was the 18th appearance of the Boxing at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Melbourne, Australia, from 15 to 26 March 2006 and featured contests in eleven weight classes.[1] It was one of two male-only sports at the Commonwealth Games, the other being Rugby Sevens.

The boxing events were held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.[2] The weight categories changed slightly with only 11 classes instead of 12 and the weights themselves were increased slightly, with light-welterweight switching from 63.5 to 64 kg, the welterweight changing from 67 to 69 kg and the light middleweight event being dropped completely.

England topped the boxing medal table by virtue of winning five gold medals.[3][4]
