Pilatus PC-6 Porter on ühemootoriline STOL-i tarbelennuk, mille on projekteerinud Šveitsi Pilatus Aircraft. Esmakordselt 1959. aastal lendanud PC-6 jätkab tootmist Šveitsis Stansis asuvas Pilatus Flugzeugwerkes. Seda on ehitatud nii kolbmootoriga kui ka turbopropellermootoriga versioonidena ning seda tootis mõnda aega litsentsi alusel Ameerika Ühendriikides Fairchild Hiller. Pärast umbes 600 tarnet kuue aastakümne jooksul toodab Pilatus viimase 2019. aasta alguses.
