The 1960 United States Senate election in Mississippi was held on November 8, 1960.
Incumbent Senator James Eastland was re-elected to a fourth term in office against nominal opposition. The primary race attracted little attention and as was typical of elections in the South at this time, the general election was a foregone conclusion in favor of the Democratic candidate, Eastland.
