The 1960 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election. Voters chose six{{cite web|url=https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/votes/1953_1957.html#1960|title=1960 Election for the Forty-Fourth Term (1961-65)|access-date=June 7, 2017}} representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Oregon was won by incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R–California), running with former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 52.56% of the popular vote, against Senator John F. Kennedy (D–Massachusetts), running with Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, with 47.32% of the popular vote.{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=41&year=1960|title=1960 Presidential General Election Results - Oregon|access-date=June 7, 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/showelection.php?year=1960|title=The American Presidency Project - Election of 1960|access-date=June 7, 2017}} {{As of|2020|11|alt=As of the 2024 presidential election}}, this is the last election in which Multnomah County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.Sullivan, Robert David; [http://www.americamagazine.org/content/unconventional-wisdom/how-red-and-blue-map-evolved-over-past-century ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’]; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016
Background
Oregon had not voted for the Democratic presidential nominee since the 1944 election.{{sfn|Swarthout|1961|p=356}}
Legislation was passed in 1959 that created a primary system for the president.{{sfn|Swarthout|1961|p=358-359}} Candidates had no choice as to whether or not they would run in the Oregon primaries. Oregon had a unique law in which all individuals believed to be candidates (by the Attorney General) would be listed, whether or not they wanted to compete in the state's primary.
Primaries
=Democratic primary=
{{see also|1960 Democratic Party presidential primaries}}
Since at least 1957, Kennedy had been anticipating running in Oregon's primary due to the state's unique election laws, which would give him no choice as to whether or not he would be listed on the ballot.{{cite book |last1=Oliphant |first1=Thomas |last2=Wilkie |first2=Curtis |year=2017 |title=The road to Camelot: Inside JFK's Five-Year Campaign |publisher=Simon & Schuster }}
Oregon's primary came late, just prior to California's. Kennedy had made several appearances in Oregon in the spring of 1959, and was leading according to his campaign's internal polling against a plethora of prospective opponents. He garnered the support of figures such as Edith Green. By late 1959, however, Senator Wayne Morse launched a favorite son campaign, which posed a viable challenge to Kennedy's prospects of winning Oregon.
Hubert Humphrey had been seen as having a realistic chance of winning the strongly liberal state electorate if he were to remain a viable candidate through late-May (when the primary was scheduled). However, Humphrey ultimately withdrew earlier on after losing the West Virginia primary.
Kennedy's campaign worried about a potential active campaign effort by Adlai Stevenson II in the state, where many voters were still enamored with the two-time Democratic standard bearer. In a January 26, 1960 memo, campaign manager Robert Kennedy stated that it was important for the Kennedy campaign to try and stop Stevenson from becoming an active factor in the Oregon primary. Congressman Charles O. Porter was seen as being likely to lead any potential effort to support a Stevenson candidacy in Oregon, therefore, Robert considered persuading him that such an effort would hand the primary to Morse, whom Porter despised. However, by May this proved to be unneeded, as Kennedy had already cleared the field.
While names of several other contenders appeared on the Oregon Democratic primary ballot, the only active opponent which Kennedy faced in the primary was Morse. Oregon was the only state in which Kennedy directly challenged a favorite son candidate. The Kennedy campaign saw the fiercely independent and progressive state electorate as challenging for them to maneuver. He defeated Morse 51 to 32%.

Campaign
Nixon placed first in all four congressional districts. Crook County, a bellwether county since the 1884 election, incorrectly supported Kennedy. Oregon had one of the lowest Catholic and highest fundamentalist Protestant populations in the United States.{{sfn|Swarthout|1961|p=357-358}}
