The 1960 Macdonald Brier, the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 7 to 11, 1960 at Fort William Gardens in Fort William, Ontario. A total of 26,000 fans attended the event.
Team Saskatchewan, skipped by Ernie Richardson, captured the Brier Tankard with a record of 9–1 in round robin play. This was the third time in which Saskatchewan had captured the Brier championship. Richardson became the third skip to win back-to-back Brier championships, joining Gordon Hudson (1928 and 1929) and Matt Baldwin (1957 and 1958). Unlike Hudson and Baldwin before him, Richardson's rink was the first to win back-to-back Briers with the same four team members.
Richardson's rink would go on to compete in the 1960 Scotch Cup in Scotland, becoming World Champions by defeating Scotland 5 games to none for the second year in a row.
