The 2006 Men's Hockey World Cup Qualifier was the 11th edition of the Hockey World Cup qualification tournament. It was held between 12–23 April 2006 in Changzhou, China. The five highest placed teams would earn a berth to play in the World Cup, to be held in Mönchengladbach, Germany.

New Zealand won the tournament after defeating Korea 4–1 in the final. Alongside England, Pakistan and Japan, these five teams qualified for the World Cup.
