The 1960 Oregon Tech Owls football team was an American football team that represented the Oregon Technical Institute (now known as Oregon Institute of Technology) as a member of the Oregon Collegiate Conference (NCC) during the 1960 NAIA football season. In their 11th year under head coach Rex Hunsaker, the Owls compiled a 9–0 record (4–0 against conference opponents), won the OCC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 233 to 117. It was the first perfect season in Oregon Tech football history.[1][2]

Six Oregon Tech players received first-team honors on the 1960 All-OCC football team: quarterback Roy Johnson, halfback Ardell Hamilton; end Dennis Farster; offensive guard Andy Cook; defensive tackle Jim Madden; and defensive back Charlie Wilson.[3]
