U.S. Route 6 (US 6) is a part of the United States Numbered Highway System that runs from California to Provincetown, Massachusetts. In Indiana, it is part of the Indiana state road system that enters the state concurrent with the Borman Expressway between Lansing, Illinois, and Munster, Indiana. The 149 miles (240 km) of US 6 that lie within Indiana serve as a major conduit. Some sections of the highway is listed on the National Highway System. Various sections are rural two-lane highway and urbanized four-lane divided highways. The easternmost community along the highway is Butler at the Ohio state line.

US 6 passes through farmfields and forestlands and along the northern part of Indiana. The highway is included in the Grand Army of the Republic Highway. US 6 was first designated as a U.S. Route in 1932. A section of the highway originally served as part of Sauk Indian Trail. US 6 replaced the original State Road 17 (SR 17) designation of the highway which dated back to the formation of the Indiana state road system. SR 17 ran from Ligonier through Kendallville to Waterloo and ended in Butler. US 6 also replaced the second designation of the highway, State Road 6 (SR 6), through most of the state.
