The 1959–60 Oberliga was the fifteenth season of the Oberliga, the first tier of the football league system in West Germany. The league operated in five regional divisions, Berlin, North, South, Southwest and West. The five league champions and the runners-up from the west, south, southwest and north then entered the 1960 German football championship which was won by Hamburger SV. It was Hamburg's fourth national championship and its first since 1928.
The 1960 German championship saw an attendance record for the Oberliga era with 87,739 seeing Tasmania 1900 Berlin hosting 1. FC Köln.
A similar-named league, the DDR-Oberliga, existed in East Germany, set at the first tier of the East German football league system. The 1960 DDR-Oberliga was won by ASK Vorwärts Berlin.
The 1959–60 season saw two new clubs in the league, VfB Lübeck and Eintracht Osnabrück, both promoted from the Amateurliga. The league's top scorer was Uwe Seeler of Hamburger SV with 36 goals, the highest total for any scorer in the five Oberligas in 1959–60.
