Kosmos 106 (Russian: Космос 106 meaning Cosmos 106), also known as DS-P1-I #1 was a satellite which was used as a radar target for anti-ballistic missile tests. It was launched by the Soviet Union in 1966 as part of the Dnepropetrovsk Sputnik programme.^[1]

It was launched aboard a Kosmos-2M 63S1M rocket,^[2] from Site 86/1 at Kapustin Yar.^[3] The launch occurred at 12:28 GMT on 25 January 1966.^[4] It was the only DS-P1-I satellite to be launched on the short-lived Kosmos-2M before launches switched to the Kosmos-2I 63SM variant.

Kosmos 106 was placed into a low Earth orbit with a perigee of 281 kilometres (175 mi), an apogee of 553 kilometres (344 mi), 48.4 degrees of inclination, and an orbital period of 92.8 minutes.^[1] It decayed from orbit on 14 November 1966.^[5]

Kosmos 106 was the first of nineteen DS-P1-I satellites to be launched.^[1] Of these, all reached orbit successfully except the seventh.^[6]
