A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Carlow–Kilkenny in Ireland on Thursday, 23 June 1960, to fill a vacancy in the 16th Dáil. It followed the death of Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) Joseph Hughes on 20 January 1960.
The writ of election to fill the vacancy was agreed by the Dáil on 25 May 1960.
The Elections Act 1960 enabled the election to be held the same day as the 1960 local elections, using the same administrative apparatus.; ;
The by-election was won by the Fianna Fáil candidate Senator Patrick Teehan.
Teehan lost his seat at the 1961 general election, and was never subsequently re-elected to the Dáil.
