The United Kingdom competed as Great Britain at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy. British athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games.
The Rome Games continued Great Britain and Northern Ireland's disappointing run in the Olympics, with British athletes picking up only two gold medals (down from six in 1956). Overall, they won twenty medals, finishing twelfth. The two gold medals won were by Don Thompson (50km walk) and Anita Lonsbrough (Women's 200m breaststroke).
