Akademi Fantasia, Season 6 is the sixth season of Akademi Fantasia to be aired in Astro Ria. The promotional catchphrase of this season is "Bring Out The Superstar Talent In You".

A few major changes were made this season. The show is eligible for Malaysian citizens aged from 18–45 years old, unlike the previous five seasons which were eligible for those who aged from 18–27 years old. The number of contestants was also decreased to 14, from 16 since Season 5. Aznil Nawawi who has been hosting the show since Season 1, decided to leave the show due to scheduling conflicts and is currently being replaced by A.C Mizal. Finally, the judging panel was also altered with Fauziah Latiff being replaced by Ning Baizura.

The winner was 18-year-old Stracie Angie Anam, from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, who became the youngest contestant ever to win the competition. She won prizes worth RM733,734 which comprised a four-room bungalow at A'Famosa Villa D'Lagos, Melaka, a Peugeot 307XS car, cash worth RM 25,000, holiday package of 7 days and 5 nights at South Africa, holiday package to Italy, Sony PlayStation Portable and a trophy.
