The 1906–07 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team represented the University of Kansas in its ninth season of collegiate basketball. The head coach was James Naismith, the inventor of the game, who served in his 9th year. Naismith would retire after the season. The Jayhawks finished the season 7–8. Phog Allen, who would later become the Jayhawks head coach, played on the team. The season marked the beginning of the Jayhawks two biggest rivalries, the Border War with Missouri and the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State.
