Celebrity Number Six (sometimes abbreviated C6[1]) is the name given to a previously unidentified face on a fabric print, the subject of a years-long lost media mystery. In 2020, Reddit user u/TontsaH posted to the subreddit r/TipOfMyTongue asking for help in identifying eight faces depicted on a set of curtains they owned. While seven of them were quickly identified as six actors and models prominent in the mid-2000s, one proved far more difficult to identify, leading to the creation of a dedicated subreddit, r/CelebrityNumberSix.

After four years, during which the subreddit's members pursued a number of ultimately fruitless leads, in September 2024 u/StefanMorse and u/IndigoRoom were able to trace the image to a 2006 photograph by Leandre Escorsell of Spanish model Leticia Sardá. The successful identification was one of several lost media mysteries solved in 2024, including the origins of the song "Ulterior Motives" and the original Backrooms image.
