The 6th federal electoral district of Guerrero () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Guerrero.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth region.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is María del Carmen Nava García of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM)
District territory Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the 2023 redistricting process carried out by the National Electoral Institute (INE). Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the reconfigured 6th district covers 355 electoral precincts () across ten municipalities in the north-east of the state: Atenango del Río, Chilapa de Álvarez, Cocula, Copalillo, Huitzuco de los Figueroa, Iguala de la Independencia, Mártir de Cuilapán, Quechultenango, Tepecoacuilco de Trujano and Zitlala.
The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Chilapa de Álvarez. The district reported a population of 462,003 in the 2020 census; with Indigenous and Afro-Mexican inhabitants accounting for over 45% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.
