The 1960 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming was held on November 8, 1960. Incumbent Republican Congressman Keith Thomson opted to successfully run for the U.S. Senate rather than seek re-election. Thomson won the election, but died a month after the election, and never took office. Former Congressman William Henry Harrison, who preceded Thomson in the House, won the Republican primary and faced Hepburn T. Armstrong, the Democratic nominee, in the general election.
