The 1960 San Francisco 49ers season was the franchise's 11th season in the National Football League and their 15th overall. The team was able to match their 7–5 output from the previous year. However, they again failed to make the playoffs. The season did have a silver lining, though, as the 49ers' defense was top-ranked in the league, allowing only 205 points.1960 NFL Standings
