The 1960 Stanley Cup Final was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 1959–60 season, and the culmination of the 1960 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was contested between the four-time defending champion Montreal Canadiens, appearing in their tenth consecutive finals, and the Toronto Maple Leafs; it was a rematch of the previous year's finals and the fourth finals meeting in the history of the Canadiens–Maple Leafs rivalry. The Canadiens swept the Maple Leafs for their fifth straight Cup victory, which stands as an NHL record.
This was the last time a Toronto-based team lost in the championship round in any of the four major North American sports leagues until the 2025 World Series.
