The 6th Arkansas Infantry Regiment, commonly known as the "Sixth Arkansas", was a line infantry formation of the Confederate States Army in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.

Organized in 1861 with volunteers from the southern Arkansas (to include several antebellum militia companies), the regiment was among the first Arkansas units mustered into Confederate service. Sustaining heavy casualties at Shiloh and Perryville, it spent the remainder of the war amalgamated with the "Seventh Arkansas," resulting in the creation of the 6th and 7th Arkansas Infantry Regiment.
