The Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six is a series of fixed landing gear light aircraft manufactured in the United States by Piper Aircraft between 1965 and 2007.

The PA-32 series began life in 1965 as the 260 horsepower (190 kW) PA32-260 Cherokee Six, a significantly modified six (or seven) seat development of the PA-28 Cherokee.

The Cherokee Six and its successors feature a baggage compartment in the nose between the cockpit and the engine compartment as well as a large double door in the back for easy loading of passengers and cargo.
