The 1959–60 FIBA European Champions Cup was third season of the FIBA European Champions Cup. It was won by ASK Riga for the third straight time, an accomplishment only achieved again by Jugoplastika Split in the late 80's, in 1989–1991. In the Euroleague Finals, Riga defeated the Soviet Union League club, Dinamo Tbilisi, in both final games (51–61 & 62–69). Riga defeated Slovan Orbis Prague in the semifinals, and AŠK Olimpija in the quarterfinals.

**Maccabi Tel Aviv withdrew before the competition due to internal problems and Fenerbahçe received a forfeit (2-0) in both games.
