The 1960 Stanley Cup playoffs was the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 1959–60 season. The Montreal Canadiens played the minimum number eight games (at-the-time) to become the last Stanley Cup winners in NHL history to go perfect in the playoffs to date. After winning the Cup, Maurice Richard retired from the NHL as a champion.
