The 1960-61 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 54th season (51st consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the 22-team Division One, then the top tier of English football, finishing twentieth.

The League Cup competition was introduced this season, and Blackpool exited at the second-round stage (the round in which they entered) at the hands of Leeds United, after a replay.

Ray Charnley was the club's top scorer for the third consecutive season, with 28 goals (27 in the league and one in the FA Cup).

On 10 September 1960, Bloomfield Road became the venue for the first televised football game in England for the visit of Bolton Wanderers. The Trotters won by a single goal.[3]
