The 6th Canadian Parliament was in session from April 13, 1887, until February 3, 1891 (3 years and 296 days). The membership was set by the 1887 federal election on February 22, 1887. It was dissolved prior to the 1891 election.

It was controlled by a Conservative/Liberal-Conservative majority under Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald and the 3rd Canadian Ministry. The Official Opposition was the Liberal Party, led first by Edward Blake, and later by Wilfrid Laurier.

The Speaker was Joseph-Aldric Ouimet. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1887-1892 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.
