"Six and Six" is the name of the second album by reclusive Houston musician Jandek, though it was the first to be released under that moniker (the previous, "Ready for the House", was credited to "The Units" on its first pressing). It was released by Corwood Industries (#0740). There have been two CD reissues so far, each adding more silence between the tracks.

The album was released in 1981, three years after Jandek's debut Ready For The House, and is comprised mainly of slow songs, most of which dealt with topics like regret and hopelessness. The music is stark and slow, with a flattened-out dissonant blues sound. The cover image, reminiscent of the famous photo of Robert Johnson, is widely believed to be Jandek himself.
