Pope Boniface VI (Latin: Bonifatius VI; died April 896) was Pope in April 896. He was a native of Rome.^[1] His election came about as a result of riots soon after the death of Pope Formosus. Prior to his reign, he had twice incurred a sentence of deprivation of orders as a subdeacon and as a priest.^[2] After a pontificate of fifteen days, he is said by some to have died of the gout,^[3]^[4] by others to have been forcibly ejected to make way for Stephen VI, the candidate of the Spoletan party.

At a synod in Rome held by John IX in 898, his election was pronounced null and void.^[3]
