The 1960 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Kansas was won by incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R–California), running with United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 60.45 percent of the popular vote, against Senator John F. Kennedy (D–Massachusetts), running with Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, with 39.10 percent of the popular vote.[3][4]

Kennedy carried only heavily Catholic Ellis County and urbanized Wyandotte County, the home of Kansas City, Kansas, which has become the Democrats' most reliable county in Kansas during presidential elections.

With 60.45 percent of the popular vote, Kansas would prove to be Nixon's second strongest state in the 1960 election after neighbouring Nebraska.[5]
