Kishoreganj-6 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024 the constituency is vacant.
The constituency encompasses Bhairab and Kuliarchar upazilas.
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Mymensingh constituency when the former Mymensingh District was split into four districts: Mymensingh, Sherpur, Netrokona, and Kishoreganj.
Nazmul Hassan Papon was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.
In February 2009, Zillur Rahman became President of Bangladesh, vacating his parliamentary seat. Nazmul Hassan Papon, his son, was elected in the resulting March by-election.
