Louisiana Highway 6 (LA 6) is a state highway located in western central Louisiana that runs 54.4 miles (87.5 km) in an east–west direction from the Texas state line southwest of Many to U.S. Highway 71 (US 71) and U.S. Highway 84 (US 84) in Clarence.
The route connects Many and , the seats of the two parishes it traverses, Sabine and . The bridge over the Toledo Bend Reservoir at the west end of LA 6 provides the only crossing of the state line between US 84 at Logansport, 44 miles (71 km) to the north, and LA 191 west of Leesville, 31 miles (50 km) to the south.
LA 6 is also steeped in history, as it roughly follows the El Camino Real de los Tejas, a National Historic Trail, and passes through Natchitoches, the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. Its significance as a scenic route has been recognized by its inclusion as part of the Colonial Trails Scenic Byway, one of the state-designated Louisiana Scenic Byways.
