The 1960 Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1960. Prior to the election, on September 9, 1960, Nebraska Governor Ralph G. Brooks died while in office. This caused then Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Dwight W. Burney to become Governor of Nebraska two months before the election in which he was running for reelection as lieutenant governor. Thus, the 1960 lieutenant governor election featured incumbent Nebraska Governor Dwight W. Burney, a Republican, defeating Democratic nominee Norman A. Otto, who was chosen by the Nebraska Democratic Party to replace Edward A. Dosek, who had won the Democratic primaries but had withdrawn from the race.

On September 7, 1960, Dosek announced that he had withdrawn from the race for health reasons and the fact that his insurance license had been suspended. The Nebraska Democratic Party then chose Norman A. Otto, who finished second in the Democratic primaries, to succeed him and run in the general election.
