The Symphony No. 6 in D minor, Op. 104, is a four-movement work for orchestra written from 1918 to 1923 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.

Sibelius's work on his Fifth (Op. 82), Sixth, and Seventh (Op. 105) symphonies overlapped, as he sorted his motifs and refined his symphonic ideals. The Symphony No. 6—at one point referred to as Fantasia I—also incorporated material from a 1919–1920 (eventually abandoned) Kalevala-themed project: a tone poem called The Moon Goddess (Kuutar; no catalogue number). Moreover, a theme initially intended for the symphony eventually made its way into the finale of the Violin Sonatina in E major (Op. 80).
