The 1960 United States Senate election in South Dakota took place on November 8, 1960. Incumbent Republican Senator Karl E. Mundt ran for re-election to his third term. He was challenged by Congressman George McGovern.{{cite news|date=January 6, 1960|title=McGovern Seeks Seat in Senate|work=Argus Leader|location=Sioux Falls, S.D.|page=1|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/238705949/|access-date=June 10, 2021}} Both Mundt and McGovern won their respective primaries unopposed and the campaign between the two began. Despite the landslide victory for Vice-President Richard M. Nixon over John F. Kennedy, the race between Mundt and McGovern was quite close. Mundt narrowly won re-election, and McGovern ran for the U.S. Senate again in 1962. He served alongside Mundt for a decade.
