Geoffrey VI, Viscount of Châteaudun

Geoffrey VI (Goeffroy VI) (died 6 February 1250) was a Viscount of Châteaudun. He was the son of Geoffrey V, Viscount of Châteaudun, and Adelicia de Nevers. Although Adelicia's ancestry is not precisely known, she is likely the daughter of William IV, Count of Nevers, and Eléonore, Countess of Vermandois.

Geoffrey married twice, and produced two famous daughters. His first wife was Mabile, of unknown ancestry. Geoffrey and Mabile had three children: Pierre (d. after 1251), a monk at an unknown abbey, Isabelle and Odette.

Geoffrey's second wife was Clemence de Roches, widow of Theobald VI, Count of Blois. Geoffrey and Clemence had two children: Clemence, Viscountess of Châteaudun and Jeanne, Dame de Châteaudun.

Geoffrey was succeeded by his daughter Clemence who became Viscountess of Châteaudun.
