Presidential elections were held in Brazil on 3 October 1960 to elect the president and vice president. Jânio Quadros of the National Labour Party (PTN), heading a coalition of the PTN, the National Democratic Union and the Christian Democratic Party was elected president with 48% of the vote. João Goulart, backed by a coalition of the Brazilian Labour Party, Social Democratic Party, Social Labour Party, Brazilian Socialist Party and , was elected vice president with 42% of the vote. Voter turnout was 81%.

Quadros' victory was the largest of any free election in Brazilian history at the time; the 16 percent margin of victory would remain a record until Fernando Henrique Cardoso won by 27 points in 1994. The election marked the first time in 31 years that the presidency had not been won by an heir to the legacy of Getúlio Vargas.

This would be the last direct presidential election held in Brazil until 1989.
