The 1959–60 Scottish Inter-District Championship was a rugby union competition for Scotland's district teams.

This season saw the seventh formal Scottish Inter-District Championship.

South, North and Midlands and Edinburgh District won the competition with two wins and a loss each.

Glasgow's 32 - 0 loss to the South led to calls for the Glasgow District to be partitioned into Glasgow (northwards to Stirling) as a 'city' team and a South-West district (Renfrewshire and Ayrshire to Stranraer and Wigtownshire).[1]
