The 2006–07 season was the 92nd season of the Isthmian League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from London, East and South East England. Also, it was the first season for newly created divisions One North and One South.

Premier Division

The Premier Division consisted of 22 clubs, including 16 clubs from the previous season, and six new clubs.

Three clubs promoted from Division One:

Plus
- Ashford Town (Middlesex), promoted as runners-up of Southern Football League Western Division
- Boreham Wood, promoted as champions of Southern Football League Eastern Division
- Carshalton Athletic, relegated from the Conference South

Hampton & Richmond Borough won the division and were promoted to the Conference South along with play-off winners Bromley. Worthing, Walton & Hersham and Slough Town were relegated, while Harrow Borough, initially also relegated as the worst 19th-placed club among seventh level leagues, were reprieved as an effect of the Conference clubs Farnborough Town and Scarborough folded, Lancaster City demoted two levels down and Hayes merged with Yeading.

Division One North

After the end of the previous season, Division One was restructured. Most of the previous season's Division One clubs were transferred to Division One South.

Division One North consisted of 22 clubs: eleven clubs transferred from Southern League Division One North, three clubs relegated from higher-level leagues and eight clubs promoted from lower-level leagues. Barking & East Ham United, another club from the Southern League, joined the division but resigned and folded before the start of the season.

Eleven clubs transferred from Southern Football League Eastern Division:
Two clubs relegated from the Premier Division:
- Maldon Town
- Redbridge
Club demoted from the Conference National:
- Canvey Island
Three clubs promoted from Division Two:
Three clubs promoted from the Essex Senior League:
Two clubs promoted from the Eastern Counties League:
- AFC Sudbury
- Bury Town

Maldon Town qualified for the play-offs but were ineligible for promotion due to ground grading issues, so Harlow Town received a bye to the play-off final which they won, and were promoted to the Premier Division along with AFC Hornchurch, who earned a second successive promotion. Flackwell Heath finished bottom of the table and were relegated. At the end of the season Enfield folded with phoenix club Enfield 1893 joining Essex Senior League. Ilford finished second bottom, but were reprieved to make up the number of clubs at eight tier after a few higher league clubs folded and merged and Northern Premier League was reformed.
