The Type-6 Shuttlecraft was a small Federation shuttlecraft in operation in the late 24th century.

The Type-6 shuttlecraft was introduced into service in the late 2350s and was the standard shuttlecraft design incorporated into many starship classes over the next twenty years including the Galaxy-class, Nebula-class, Sovereign-class, Nova-class and Prometheus-class.

Two Type-6 shuttlecraft were assigned to Deep Space 9, to complement the USS Defiant, the Danube class runabouts and the Work Bees. They were stored in the landing pads. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual)

In 2372, Commander Ishmael Snowden outfitted an obsolete type-6 shuttle with cloaking technology adapted from that used by "Ardra" at Ventex II, in order to convertly advance James Leyton's plans for a Starfleet takeover of the Federation government.
