1960 Winter Olympics medal table

The 1960 Winter Olympics, officially known as the VIII Olympic Winter Games and also known as Squaw Valley 1960, were an international winter multi-sport event held from February 18 to 28, 1960, at the Squaw Valley Resort (now known as Palisades Tahoe) in Squaw Valley (now known as Olympic Valley), California, United States. A total of 665 athletes representing 30 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated, including South Africa who took part in the Winter Games for the first time. It was the first time all five continents represented in the Olympic rings (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) were represented in the Winter Games.

The games featured 27 events in 4 sports across 8 disciplines, including the Olympic debuts of biathlon and women's speed skating. Due to a lack of entries, this was the first and only Winter Games which did not feature bobsledding as an event.

Athletes representing 14 NOCs received at least one medal, with 10 NOCs winning at least one gold medal. Athletes from the Soviet Union won the most gold medals, with seven, and the most overall medals, with 21. Soviet speed skaters Lidiya Skoblikova and Yevgeny Grishin tied for the most gold medals at the games with two each, while Finnish skier Veikko Hakulinen had the most total medals with three (one gold, one silver, and one bronze).
