Gemini 6A (officiellt Gemini VI-A) var NASA:s femte bemannade färd i Geminiprogrammet och 11:e bemannade färden totalt. Astronauterna Walter Schirra och Thomas P. Stafford flög ombord. Färden genomfördes 15-16 december 1965 och varade i 25 timmar 51 minuter och 24 sekunder. Farkosten sköts upp med en Titan II-raket från Cape Kennedy Air Force Station.
Man flög i formation med Gemini 7 och var som närmast endast 0,3 meter från varandra.
Gemini 6
Från början hete flygningen Gemini 6 och planen vara att man skulle docka med en Agena-farkost. Men eftersom uppskjutningen av Agena-farkosten misslyckades ställde man in flygningen.
