The Arrows A6 was a Formula One car which the Arrows team used to compete in the {{F1|1983}} and {{F1|1984}} Formula One seasons. It was designed by Dave Wass and powered by the Cosworth DFY V8 engine. The A6 used a honeycomb monocoque frame, as a carbon fibre chassis was too expensive.{{cite book|last=Hodges|first=David|title=A-Z of Formula Racing Cars|year=1990|publisher=Bay View Books|location=Bideford, UK|isbn=1870979168|pages=279}}

Drivers of the A6 at various times included Marc Surer, Chico Serra, Thierry Boutsen and {{f1|1980}} World Drivers' Champion Alan Jones.

The A6 was replaced during the {{f1|1984}} season by the team's first turbocharged car, the A7.

An Arrows A6 was entered by Roger Cowman in the 1985 Formula 3000 championship for Slim Borgudd.{{-}}
