The Lusatian League was a historical alliance of six towns in the region of Upper Lusatia from 1346 until 1815, when the region was controlled first by Bohemia (1346–1635) and later by the Electorate of Saxony (1635–1815). The member towns were Bautzen (Upper Sorbian: Budyšin), Görlitz (Zhorjelc), Kamenz (Kamjenc), Lauban (Lubań), Löbau (Lubij) and Zittau (Žitawa). Five of the towns are located in present-day Germany; Lubań and Zgorzelec (split from Görlitz after World War II) are within Poland.

The Lusatian League is known by the names Oberlausitzer Sechsstädtebund (German), Zwjazk šesćiměstow (Upper Sorbian), Šestiměstí (Czech) and Związek Sześciu Miast (Polish).
