Albert VI of Bavaria, (13 April 1584 - 5 July 1666), (German: Albrecht VI., der Leuchtenberger, Landgraf von Bayern-Leuchtenberg), son of William V, Duke of Bavaria and Renata of Lorraine, born and died in Munich.

In 1612 married Mechthilde v. Leuchtenberg (24 October 1588 - 1 June 1634), place of burial: Wallfahrtkirche Altötting. They had 5 children:

Through Mechtilde, Albrecht came into possession of the landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, which he exchanged in 1650 for the Reichsgrafschaft Haag. After the death of his son Maximilian Heinrich, Haag reverted to Bavaria.
