The 1960 St. Louis Cardinals season was the team's 41st year with the National Football League (NFL) and the first in St. Louis. The oldest remaining franchise in the NFL, the Cardinals had played the previous 40 seasons in Chicago, losing a torrent of games in front of a declining audience.

The Cardinals went 6–5–1 during the first season in their new city, while playing their home schedule at Busch Stadium. It was their first winning season since 1956 when they were based in Chicago. This was also the first season to feature the famous Cardinal head logo on the helmets.
