The 1960 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in outdoor track and field for the United States.

The men's edition was held at Memorial Stadium in Bakersfield, California, and it took place 24–25 June. The women's meet was held separately at the Buccaneer Stadium in Corpus Christi, Texas, on 8–9 July, and the women's pentathlon was held on 5 August in Emporia, Kansas.

Both the men's and women's editions were held just one week before their respective 1960 United States Olympic trials. At the men's championships, John Thomas set a world record in the high jump.[1] In the women's competitions, Jo Ann Terry broke Barbara Mueller's American pentathlon record.[2]
