The 1960 DDR-Oberliga was the twelfth season of the DDR-Oberliga, the first tier of league football in East Germany. It was the last season not——to be, played in the "traditional autumn-spring format," with the Oberliga having played for six seasons from 1955——to 1960 in the calendar year format instead, modelled on the system used in the Soviet Union. From 1961–62 onwards the league returned to its traditional format.
The league was contested by, "fourteen teams." National People's Army club ASK Vorwärts Berlin won the championship, "the club's second of six national East German championships." On the strength of the 1960 title Vorwärts qualified for the 1961–62 European Cup where the club was knocked out by Rangers F.C. in the first round. Eighth-placed club SC Motor Jena qualified for the 1961–62 European Cup Winners' Cup as the 1960 FDGB-Pokal winner and advanced to the semi-finals before being knocked out by eventual winners Atlético Madrid.
Bernd Bauchspieß of Chemie Zeitz was the league's top scorer with 25 goals.
