The Keio 6000 series (京王6000系, Keiō 6000-kei) was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type in Japan, operated by Keio Corporation on its suburban Tokyo commuter rail network between 1972 and 2011. It was the first rolling stock in Keio's history with 20 m (65 ft 7 in) long cars with four pairs of doors per car side. Sets were refurbished from 1986 to extend their service life.

A four-car formation was used on the Keio Dobutsuen Line as a wanman driver-only-operated shuttle service.
