The Shaoshan 6 (Chinese: 韶山6) is a type of electric locomotive used on the People's Republic of China's national railway system. This locomotive was the sixth Chinese electric main line locomotive, built by the Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Works.

The overall arrangement of SS6 is similar to SS3.^[1] The main circuit of SS6 is influenced by the 6K, an electric locomotive model imported from Japan.^[2] The power supply was industrial-frequency single-phase AC, and the axle arrangement Co-Co.^[1]
