The 1960 United States Senate election in Arkansas took place on November 8, 1960. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator John L. McClellan was re-elected to a fourth term in office. Because McClellan faced only token opposition in the general election, his victory in the July 26 primary was tantamount to election. McClellan was also unopposed in the primary.
