Trunk 6 is part of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia's system of Trunk Highways. The route runs from Highway 104 exit 3 at Amherst to the rotary at Pictou, a distance of 144 kilometres. It is part of the Sunrise Trail, a major tourist route.

From Amherst, Trunk 6 goes in an easterly direction to the village of Port Phillip, where it meets the Northumberland Strait. The route then follows the strait's shoreline through Pugwash, Wallace and Tatamagouche to the town of Pictou.

Until the construction of Highway 106 in the late 1960s, Trunk 6 continued south to New Glasgow on the Alma Road and Trunk 4.
