The Keio 6000 series (京王6000系 Keiō 6000-kei) was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train in Japan, operated by Keio Corporation on its suburban Tokyo commuter rail network between 1972 and 2011. It was the first rolling stock in Keio's history with 20 m (66 ft) long cars with four pairs of doors per car side. Sets were refurbished from 1986, to extend their service life.

Two cars, 6707 and 6807, were converted to maintenance cars. A four-car formation was used on the Keio Dobutsuen Line as a wanman driver-only-operated shuttle service.
