The 1960 LSU Tigers football team was an American football team that represented Louisiana State University (LSU) as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1960 college football season. In their sixth year under head coach Paul Dietzel, the Tigers compiled an overall record of 5–4–1, with a conference record of 2–3–1, and finished eighth in the SEC.
This was the only season between 1958 and 1965 that LSU did not play in a bowl game.
The game vs. Ole Miss was the Tigers' last visit to Oxford, Mississippi until 1989. The 6-6 tie denied the Rebels the consensus national championship, which instead went to Minnesota despite the Gophers' loss to Purdue. Ole Miss was named national champion by the Football Writers Association of America following their win vs. Rice in the Sugar Bowl.
