Zemljotres u San Francisku 1906. je bio snažan zemljotres koji je pogodio San Francisko i obalu Severne Kalifornije u 5:12 pre podne, 18. aprila 1906. godine Najšire prihvaćena procena magnitude zemljotresa je 7,9 M_w ali iznose se i druge vrednosti, od 7,7 pa čak do 8,25. Glavni udarni epicentar je bio na moru, oko 3,2 kilometra od grada. Potres se osetio od Oregona do Los Anđelesa, i sve do centralne Nevade. Zemljotres i požar koji su usledili se pamte kao jedna od najvećih prirodnih katastrofa u istoriji Sjedinjenih Država uz Uragan u Galvestonu 1900. i Uragan Katrina 2005. godine. Procenjuje se da je od zemljotresa i požara stradalo preko 3.000 ljudi, i to predstavlja najsmrtonosniju prirodnu katastrofu u istoriji Kalifornije.
