The National Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol Complex, known colloquially as the January 6 commission, was an unsuccessful proposal to create a commission that would have investigated the January 6 United States Capitol attack. On February 15, 2021, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi announced that she planned to create a "9/11-type commission".^[1]^[2] The details were initially negotiated by Republican John Katko, and would have consisted of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans.^[3] A bill forming the commission passed the House of Representatives on May 19,^[4] with all Democrats and 35 Republicans voting in support of it. However, it was blocked by Senate Republicans on May 28, with 54 Senators voting in favor and 35 voting against, failing to clear the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster.^[5]

After the bill establishing the commission failed, the House of Representatives created the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.
